STAYING AT HOME? TRY OUR ONLINE FILM CLASSES & COMPETITIONS
Fourthwall will be kicking off a new set of online classes the week of June 15th. Classes will be offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through the end of June.
Our primary focus will be on helping students develop films for The Civic Life Project Youth Film Challenge and For Democracy Now. Both offer a way for students to have their voices heard…and learn storytelling and digital literacy skills. We will not limit learning to just filmmaking so reach out if you questions or ideas. Our classes are free.
NEW MOBILE STUDIO
Our mobile studio is made possible by the generous support of Impact 100 with a supporting grant from the Nellie Leaman Taft Foundation.
FOURTHWALL IN THE NEWS
Fourthwall received some lovely press recently from Movers and Makers magazine.
The piece centers on our recent acquisition of a bus to develop into a mobile video studio. This will enable Fourthwall to reach students who cannot reach us and bring our award winning program to dozens of communities.
The article also highlights a recent student project, a short film developed for St. Elizabeth Healthcare on the dangers of vaping among teens. This project and grant, administered by Artswave, was part of our “Crews For Hire” initiative.
