Action!" Help Brooklyn Students Film Their Favorite Movies/TV Shows

Funded Nov 29, 2024

I am deeply grateful for your generous support of our Beginning Acting and Production class at Lyons Community School in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Thanks to your contributions, our diverse group of students, including those from Black, Latino, and other underrepresented communities, now have access to the essential tools and resources they need to explore their passion for filmmaking. With the camera and green screen you helped fund, our students are eagerly learning, experimenting, and creating their own films, as well as recreating their favorite scenes from television shows and movies.

Your support has made a tremendous impact on our students' education and aspirations. I want to take a moment to honor a special donor who recently passed away. Her generosity and belief in our mission have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire our students. I also want to acknowledge the anonymous film professionals and other donors who care deeply about equity, creativity, and the arts. Your commitment to nurturing the raw talent of our young artists is helping to shape a future where diverse voices are at the forefront of the entertainment industry.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support. Your donations are not just funding equipment; they are empowering our students to bring fresh and authentic storytelling to the screen, and to dream big about their futures in the arts.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Alan
