his summer, Alison O’Daniel and Scoli Acosta will work with students in tandem on a 5 week summer film project. Students completed creative writing exercises and physical acting exercises to brainstorm and create characters, locations, props and actions. Through collaboration with one another and exercises with visiting artists, the students designed and built wearable sculptures/costumes.

Based on the sculptures they made, they developed a genre-based narrative, plan and storyboard the script, and then film, act, and edit in-camera in real time. In addition, a guest musician collaborated on a soundtrack with the students. The final video was presented in a public screening for their families and friends.
