The Ghetto Film School, a program that has been running in the South Bronx for over a decade, is expected to honor ten local student filmmakers tonight by showcasing their work at the Walter Reade Theatre in Manhattan, reports the New York Daily News.
The event will present ten six-minute films created by the students, who have completed either the school’s 15-month or eight-week programs in cinematic storytelling.
Three of the filmmakers will receive $1000 scholarships from Google, awarded by a panel of judges that includes Oscar-winning actress Melissa Leo.
