Location: Cornell Studio (Upper Level) (220 W Market) | 220 West Market Street, Charlottesville, VA, 22902

Description:

Put your filmmaking skills to use for a good cause! In this free workshop, high school filmmakers create a 30-second PSA for an area nonprofit.

Students review applications submitted by local groups and select one to work with. Then they meet with a representative of that organization and plan out the video together. This is real world experience: skills include pitching, communicating, taking feedback, building a schedule, and delivering an end product that satisfies both the creators and the client. 

Past Commercial Production PSAs include Meals on Wheels, Albemarle Housing Improvement Program, and Charlottesville Free Clinic.

 

Students may count this workshop for community service or volunteer hours. This workshop counts as one Community credit towards the Light House Achievement Award. Visit lighthousestudio.org/achievement-award for more information.
