This year we are planning something extra special by shooting a film called Washington's Drive.
This story breathes new life and hopes into the minds of HighPoints youth and surrounding cities, Greensboro, Winston and the entire triad area.
Save the Arts Foundation Kids on Film Program will aide in teaching all the basic steps of filmmaking. During this class, they will learn scriptwriting, camera operation, lighting, sound, staging, set design, and editing. In our previous years, we ended class by filming a short film and feature premiers. In addition to showing the films as a premiere in theaters.
This story breathes new life and hopes into the minds of HighPoints youth and surrounding cities, Greensboro, Winston and the entire triad area.
Washington's Drive is a story about 3 high school students who were looking forward to going to different colleges across the country and are task with a homework assignment to graduate, and during their research, they discover so much rich history about where they live they become interested in preserving its legacy. There are amazed by the tour of HighPoint University and all that was offered which piqued their interest. They encounter what was believed to be an Urban Legend
(The Story of The Blower) which is the ghost/silhouette of John Coltrane. Can’t tell you what happens next.
Save The Arts Foundation Kids on Film Program was started to educate, cultivate and create opportunities for hands on training in our motion picture projects. This program is for the youth, and college students, as well as adults who are interested in learning more regarding the film industry. Save The Arts believes we can educate while entertaining.
We have produced 4 kid films out of 8 and have worked with over 675 kids directly in films and it has been a joy to see the glow in their eyes and some actually pursue film as a career. We are very proud of our past STA Kids on film actors Trevion Boswell who was cast in a professional cancer center tv commercial and Vonnii Bristow who played Ice Cube in the biopic of Michelle’s called (Surviving Compton) released nationwide. We couldn’t be more proud of them all and our contribution to our communities.
