Chinatown Youth Mentorship Program
The AAFilmLab is proud to announce that we are partnering with MOCA and APEX on a 3-month filmmaking mentorship program for Asian American High School students. APEX, a nonprofit in New York City dedicated to providing mentoring and educational services to Asian American youths, will provide a mentor and a student to work with a filmmaker from the AAFilmLab. The AAFimLab and APEX mentors will guide the student through the process of creating a 3-7 minute short film from inception of story to final cut. The final product will be displayed at the Museum of Chinese in America and will also be broadcast on the MOCA YouTube Channel.
The Chinatown Youth Mentorship Program had its first meeting on January 29, 2009 and will continue until May 2009, when the final short films will be presented for inclusion into the Museum of Chinese in America's opening ceremony. Peter Chin and Matte Chi from the AAFilmLab are the volunteer filmmakers who will be participating in the program. We thank MOCA's Karin Chien and APEX's Amanda Ing for the opportunity to work with these bright young students.
