Non-Profit Documentary Filmmaking Apprentice
As a documentary filmmaking apprentice at Big Picture Alliance, I created a short promotional film highlighting the non-profit organization, Unmask Youth. I met with the founder and executive director of Unmask Youth to discuss production logistics and interviewed staff and alumni about their experience and the organization’s mission. With a team of peers, I directed, shot, and edited a short film to promote their youth diversion program using various film equipment such as a Sony A74 camera, Lavalier and shotgun microphones, and Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. The goal of this service was to create a promotional video for the program to allow Unmask Youth’s mission to reach a wider audience. This experience informed me more about the need for youth juvenile restoration programs in Philadelphia.
