For two months, the UCCP partnered with the United Communities Southeast Philadelphia to provide students participating in the Out of School Time program at Furness High School an opportunity to learn video production and create a video public service announcement on unhealthy teen dating.
Students in grades 9-12 met once a week with UCCP's V-Media facilitators Aaron Kennedy and Earla Joseph to learn the basics of film grammar and camera operation. In the course of the project, they wrote, storyboarded, shot and edited a short film called "Twisted Love," about a young girl who gets help after being abused by her boyfriend. In addition to editing the film, the students also designed the DVD menus and cover and created special features such as "Behind the Scenes" slideshows.
The film was screened for the OST students and staff on February 2, 2010.
The UCCP partners with organizations on a project-based basis to provide special opportunities, leadership training, and organizational capacity building around media, community partnership and youth leadership. Please contact Barbara Ferman at bferman [at] temple.edu to inquire about bringing a UCCP project based collaboration to your organization, school or community.
