Register For Black Girls Film Camp

When Jimmeka Anderson and Keema Mingo plan projects, the earth shakes! The female dynamic duo knows about art and film exhibitions. They’ve worked in mainstream media directing and producing films, writing scripts, teaching classes, and they are extremely passionate about the African American film and media experience. Since it’s hard for Hollywood to green-light good films that have a positive message for our teen girls, Jimmeka and Keema are offering a FREE film camp! It’s called Keepin It REEL: Black Girls Film Camp for girls starting April 24, 2021, and registration is open now, but hurry to sign up before March 31st.  Read more below before signing up.

The coolest part about this venture is that The Urban Education Collaborative at UNCC Charlotte Film Studies Department, Women + Girls Research Alliance, and  I AM not the MEdia, Inc. is partnering with Mingo Studios to host the four-week interactive virtual learning experience, Keepin It REEL: Black Girls Film Camp. This film camp empowers high school Black girls to create their own stories and learn about the film industry. Teen participants will work with their own individual professional production team to create a short film of their own at the completion of the camp. Special guest speakers, gifts, and awards will all be a part of this interactive VIRTUAL experience. A LIVE ONLINE SCREENING OF ALL THE SHORT FILMS CREATED FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE HELD ON MAY 22, 2021. The audience for this project is high school Black girls in grades 9 through 12. Sign up today because registration closes March 31st.
