Kids, Cameras, Action: Split Pillow's Outreach Program
Local nonprofit Split Pillow brings documentary filmmaking to local schools, museums, libraries and community centers through its MediaStart! program, where kids learn how to make a short film and then screen it for peers and family. Split Pillow helps kids plunge into their projects by teaching them to brainstorm, write, direct, perform and edit the whole film on a tight three or four-day schedule. The teaching artists who head the project do a final edit on the film, and then it's time to bust out the popcorn.
Most recently the program taught kids at Beidler Elementary and Kellogg Elementary (cute photo alert).
