My Students

My students are diverse New York City creatives, with colorful ideas and interests. Their talent leaves me in awe each time we work on a project. Not only do they come up with amazing storytelling direction, they get so excited at the prospect of bringing their filmmaking ideas to life that it inspires members all around the community to speak their truths.

My Project

Our students dig deep to unpack their lived experiences and that of the people around them- and express their ideas through creative documentary-style storytelling. They will use their research about people’s lives to create a series of short films and mini bio-documentaries that connect to our larger historical lens.

For this project, students will film documentary-style interviews from individuals in their school community and examine evidence relating to the assumptions made about people’s identity.

These assumptions include race, gender, upbringing, weaknesses, talent, ethics. This project will be presented in a school-wide film festival that is open to the public. The final product will live on the school's digital media platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, and Facebook. As educators, we need to honor our students' voice by giving their work a platform beyond the walls of the classroom and the confines of pen and paper.

The skills learned and equipment needed for this project will be usable for many different projects, and multiple students over years. Students will learn to organize interview questions, how to film and interview, how to edit interview footage, and how to compose a story on film.

Some essential questions students will explore are:

- Why are elements of human-ness (benevolence, insecurity, depression, jealousy, conceit) both loved and hated?

- What are the moral limits when working to do what one believes is right?

- How can multiple perspectives present opposing views of the same facts?
