As Women's History Month draws to a close take a moment to explore in Collaboratory the amazing stories of how DePaul faculty and staff are engaging with women in communities across Chicago, nationally and internationally.
Geared towards female-identifying youth, the Become a Filmmaker documentary filmmaking intensive is designed to provide all essential skill sets for a job in film. Guided by award winning filmmakers and DePaul graduate students, participants receive extensive training while exploring the power of their personal narrative. During the paid, six-week program, youth are visited by industry experts and go on a number of experiential field trips including a tour of Cinespace, the largest film studio outside of Hollywood. Working in small teams, participants create four original short documentaries. The films are screened as part of their graduation celebration and then go on to play at local venues and film festivals. The films’ themes provide a voice for social topics important to Chicago Housing Authority youth and serve as an entry point to community discussions on creating positive change in Chicago.
