After six weeks of intense story telling, skill building and media production, YME 08-09 are ready to premier their three short films. We will be screening this Thursday at Variety Theater in the Hobart Building downtown. The reception starts at 6pm with light snacks. The films play at 6:45, followed by discussion and a closing ceremony. We are right above the Montgomery Muni/BART and we look forward to seeing you there. RSVP here View Map

Just Think is going back to school. We will be working with the SFUSD ExCEL program as a city wide provider of media education to 20 after school sites for the 2008-09 year. Through this partnership we will be using the M.E.A.L. model of training trainers in media deconstruction and media production for middle and elementary grade levels. Six to eight Youth Media Educators will be placed with this program as a training ground for the skills they have learned over the summer. Keep your eyes on the home page for updates.
