The mentor will need to have knowledge of filmmaking and an interest in careers in filmmaking. Mentors for this project should have an eye for the art of good movie making. We want mentors that will be encouraging to high school students that can sometimes get easily distracted. Mentors for this project must have schedules that will allow them to remain in constant contact with their student during this 6 week project.

Students will script and shoot a short video demonstrating personal-action solutions for a better planet while learning about filmmaking.
