Peter Liciaga, a veteran martial arts teacher, actor and filmmaker living in Mount Laurel NJ created a new filmmaking workshop designed to educate young filmmakers to produce & record short-short films involving community building messages -- Oral History, Anti-Bullying, Peace Education, Environmental Cleanups, Youth Violence / Peace, Self-Image for Boys/Girls, etc. -- using a simple Flip Camera.
This project, "The Short-short Filmmaking Project,” is his effort to use the web to document really good lessons (at least) for youth—to supplement face-to-face workshops he will be giving to youth in the community.
The mission? To help the youth learn some very important lessons about short-short filmmaking, but while they’re learning these lessons, we might as well include everyone who’s interested in filmmaking, yes?
"In today’s world, filmmaking isn’t only about multi-million dollar budgets and CGI, it’s about telling a story, advancing a cause, community activism, environmental concerns, and being easy, affordable, accessible & fun too!"
So look to this site at http://flavors.me/filmproject#_ as he starts to collect and deliver the lessons. Please feel free to add your input!
Please call 856.235.0414 to find out when the next workshop will be.
