It’s that time of the year that we’ve reserved for remembering what we are thankful for, and for giving back to those less fortunate. It is an incredible privilege to use your labor to produce art, whether we get to do it as a means to earn our living, or as an additional extension of who we are and what we care about.
Today’g Guest post from filmmaker and mentor Rodney Evans captures our thanksgiving quite well.
Passionate. Brave. Generous. Determined. Rebellious.
These are some of the words that come to mind when I think about the teen Documentary Lab students at Reel Works. Working with them for the past year has been a profound, life-changing experience for me. It has been such a privilege to watch these seventeen students develop the skills and fortitude that it takes to be a successful filmmaker in today’s world.
