Student Programs at JRH
The Let’s Film Program offers free comprehensive after school film classes where youth take a hands-on approach to learning how to create short films from pre to post production. Youth who participate in the program learn all aspects of the filmmaking process including acting, sound, lighting, and editing. The youth in the program work together to develop characters and a script, film and edit the final version for a showcase premiere attended by family, friends, and the community. Youth are also challenged to create public service announcements, and take part in the filming of professional documentaries throughout the program year.
