project overview

Remedee is breaking ground with today's launch of Reel Earth in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Reel Earth:

Reel Earth is a global program to enable young people to collectively create a series of documentary films that explore the link between global environmental degradation and their own personal realities. The tone is urgent yet hopeful, inspiring participants to rise to action, as well as generate awareness among their peers, consumers and policymakers.

Los Angeles Academy is a middle school in South Los Angeles. About 2,500 students spread across grades 6-8 attend LA Academy.

Project Description:

Remedee will collaborate with a graphic design class comprised of 24 tech-savvy and artistically-minded 7th and 8th graders.

Our curriculum consists of four key components:

· Media literacy

· Storytelling techniques

· Production: Camera mechanics, composition, sound recording, interviewing, editing, sound design, etc.

· Workshops taught by film professionals, media personalities, and community activists

As final group projects, students will create short documentary films on academic and personal topics.
