My Project
Do you remember the magical experience of the first movie you ever saw as a child? Imagine the excitement and pride our students experience to create films and make movie magic all of their own! In our school, amazing students from all walks of life are presented with the unique opportunity to learn the craft of film and media production, to embrace the language and power of the moving image.
Although our students learn the technical skills needed to creatively tell stories through film and video, they lack access to many of the fundamental tools of the industry.
Every student filmmaker deserves access to quality sound recording equipment. One of the most important tools in a media-makers toolkit is a lavalier microphone. Lavaliers, also known as lapel mics or clip-on mics, are small wired microphones that are widely used in filmmaking and broadcasting. From film and television to your nightly news, lavalier mics are essential recording tools for recording dialogue as they are discreet and unobtrusive and can be positioned close to the mouth while remaining out of sight.
We have a few microphones but not enough for student groups to share. Please help us put a few more microphones into the hands of a second crew of student filmmakers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
