Reel Earth: New Orleans

Remedee is co-hosting with local facilitators 2-Cent a screening in New Orleans of films from this summer's "Change We Can Create" Summer Camp. This is our second annual event at the amazing New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. If you're in town, come on by and support these amazing youth!

Actor Kim Estes video chats with the New Orleans class from the Remedee office in LA.

Remedee's second year of youth programming in New Orleans is underway with the "Change We Can Create" Summer Camp at Carver High School. It's sponsored in part by New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) and led by 2-Cent, a group of local, young media-makers who themselves use digital film as a tool for change.

Exciting news!

Six student films have been selected for the National Film Festival for Talented Youth: An Unsolved Environment, Wise Words, The Water, The Dead Zone, Go-ing Green and My Quinceañera.

WHAT: A contest. (The winner gets a $100 Best Buy gift card.)

WHEN: Now. (Videos must be completed and uploaded by January 25, 2009).

Using your Flip cameras, make a video that addresses the following purposefully vague question: What do you want people to know about New Orleans?

Feel free to tackle the good, the bad, and/or the ugly. Be as creative as you possibly can. Tell us what you want us (and everybody else) to know.
