Lights, camera, action 🎬✨

Last weekend, our scholars officially began their six-day production of City of Champions! We were excited to welcome industry professionals who joined us to support and mentor our high school scholars as they bring their creative visions and films to life.

This experience is more than filmmaking — it’s collaboration, storytelling, leadership, and empowering the next generation of creators. We can’t wait to see what our scholars accomplish throughout this incredible journey.
