Wrapping Things Up

So, the past four weeks have been a blast in all honesty. The Reelworks teen filmmaking program I’ve participated in this summer has been a worthwhile experience. I really enjoyed the tie in it had with Urban Word, a teen spoken word organization. I must say, I’ve gained a whole new respect and like for the art of poetry and the spoken word. Yes, it’s all art. I’m grateful of being able to expand my talents productively as well as enjoy doing it very much in this setting. It is certainly a confidence boost.

I hate to just describe the experience instead of showing it, but my work for the summer program is being weapped up. We’re doing a showcase/performance at the NewYorican poetry club next Wednesday. It’s crazy because it’s a famous and world renowned poetry club, and it’s also my first experience of being on that stage that has been blessed with so many famous folks. I’m really excited for what will ensue. The performance will be recorded, so I plan to have that and my two short films posted on some video site in the near future for you all to check out.

Just checking in, peace. :)
