Young Writers & Leaders Film Screening

The Young Writers and Leaders Film Project emerged out of The Telling Room’s Young Writers and Leaders program when instructor and local hip-hop artist Sontiago recruited filmmaker David Meiklejohn to help fifteen students develop and produce their own three-minute video shorts. The honest and heartfelt works created from this collaboration take a magnified look at the teenage assimilation process and perception of American culture prior to, and after arrival. The project participants will be present at this public premiere of their works, followed by Q&A with attendees.
