Each One Teach One Film Workshops

Similar to the professional workshops, but less technical workshops are also being planned for "at-risk" youth at local high schools.  These workshops are to be designed to spur an interest in films as a career option.  In an "Each One Teach One" format, short films will be shot at these schools and at Washington D.C. public housing developments with the active participation of students under the supervision of Micheaux Foundation affiliated filmmakers and other film professionals

News:
The first Micheaux Foundation "Each One Teach One" Workshop designed for a D.C. Public Housing development is scheduled to occur at the Barry Farms Complex in Southeast Washington, D.C. in the Spring of 2003. The Micheaux Foundation will assemble 30-40 high school-aged residents for a workshop on African American Images in Media. These workshop participants will conceive and create a script for a short film or music video to be produced on the grounds of the Barry Farms complex by a crew of film professionals, each mentoring a group of students in their respective areas of specialty.

After production and post-production, the participants and family members will be transported to Howard University theater for a screening of the completed film and an awards ceremony. We strongly believe that this hands-on exposure to the making of a film will encourage many of these youth at risk to pursue careers in one of the many areas of filmmaking that can be studied at Howard University Film School or at a comparable University-level film program.
