Description

Since 2005, Reel Voices has empowered local high school students by teaching them the art of documentary filmmaking. This intense, 10-week summer internship helps students become socially-conscious storytellers, learn Adobe Premiere editing, and experience all the stages of production and post-production.

This year, Reel Voices presents the short documentaries of 13 students whose works touch on issues ranging from identity and family, to school and sickness.
