Free filmmaking workshop for teens around Echo Park

The Digital Institute for Youth Media (DIY Media, a program of the Little Tokyo Service Center) is offering a FREE six week documentary filmmaking workshop for teens ages 12-19 in the Echo Park area. The class will cover all aspects of filmmaking from shooting to editing – students will work in groups of two or three to create a short documentary about a social issue important to them. Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday from February 15 through March 24.

While the class has already started this week, there are a few spots left for the remaining weeks. The deadline to enroll is Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Please email Tiffany at totoya@ltsc.org to join!

Classes take place in the Angelina Apartments Community Room, located at 1336 Angelina Street.
