Black Girls Film Camp // VIDEOGRAPHER 2022

August brought forth an incredible opportunity to come aboard as videographer to capture the behind-the-scenes of the remarkable "Black Girls Film Camp". Presented by Black Women Film in collaboration with Scarborough Arts, East End Arts, and Workman Arts, this initiative is nothing short of amazing.

Black Girls Film Camp is a one-of-a-kind filmmaking intensive designed for young and emerging Black-identifying women filmmakers. It serves as a nurturing space where participants can unleash their creativity, create captivating short videos, and forge meaningful connections in person.

Spanning a week, the camp unfolded amidst the beauty of the outdoors. Throughout this transformative journey, camp leaders skillfully guided the young filmmakers through a comprehensive curriculum, covering the essentials of the art form. From storytelling to writing, camera basics to sound, and directing to editing, every aspect of the filmmaking process was explored.

As the camp reached its conclusion, each participant walked away armed with newfound knowledge and creative expression, they proudly showcased their experimental short films, which were crafted individually or collaboratively within teams.

The Black Girls Film Camp stands as a testament to the power of nurturing talent, fostering community, and empowering young filmmakers to shine brightly. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this extraordinary journey.

I had an absolute blast spending four incredible days with this amazing group of women capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the camp and conducting engaging interviews with the camp leads, participants, and the dedicated BWF staff.

I am thrilled to share the final edit of the video that beautifully transports you to the heart of this extraordinary camp experience.
