The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders
Femme Film Texas and The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders are partnering to bring an in-school filmmaking elective to economically disadvantaged girls in Austin, Texas. The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders is a public, all-girls college preparatory school for grades 6-12.
Together, Femme Film Texas and the Ann Richards School will be providing girls the opportunity to learn a number of filmmaking and internet technologies, such as videography, non-linear editing and blogging, during a free, in-school elective for which they receive educational credit. The goal of the program is to encourage media literacy and self-expression while introducing girls to 21st Century communication techniques and career paths.
Film Camp for Girls
Each summer, Femme Film Texas collaborates with local nonprofit organizations to bring filmmaking and media literacy to young women and girls in a week-long camp devoted to creating a short video project. This summer, we will be hosting the Film Camp for Girls at the University of Texas at Austin and at the Ann Richards School. Sign-up today! If you are interested in hosting a summer camp at your school or arts organization, please contact our Executive Director, Michelle Voss, at michelle@femmefilmtexas.org.
