RISK: At-Risk Girls Behind The Camera

Getting Prepped and Ready - July ‘08

Hi all!  We just finished the Texas portion of our film shoot (end of June 2008) with the lovely Ms. Footnick.  It was such a wonderful experience to see my old vice-principal.  She did a great interview and got us in the great mood to finish the program with the 2008 segments in Kansas City and St. Joseph, Missouri.Since I’m so involved with all aspects, I want to also note that I am getting stronger everyday.  I am so pleased that we have the details locked for Kansas City.  I wish that the same was true for St. Jo.  There are so many details that go into making the Girls Behind the Camera program a success.  It looks like we have great teammates on board for 2008.  The next critical steps are getting the St. Jo dates locked so we can begin inviting everyone.Finally, I’d like to request for anyone visiting this site  - in fact I’d like to urge you to consider sponsoring a girl for the 2008 program with a donation of $100 (heck, even $5, $10, or $25 would help!).  It will really change their lives.  Thanks so much, Tara Veneruso, Director.PS- I’ve begun blogging about the “making the movie” on MoviesByWomen.com.   There are also great podcasts on the site that you can listen to (or watch) about how to make films.
