DIY - on the Fly (volume 2)

One thing we have done over here at Urban Outreach is a workshop called "DIY- on the fly". Last year we had 10 participants create their own film with about as much instruction as - make it simple, make it great. I held workshops on story development for 2 days and then everyone had one day to shoot and one day to edit. They worked with Meesoo Lee (Vancouver's most prolific filmmaker... hee) to create films which tackled issues from gender identity, boys in love, to just plain tackling…see pic above! Ahhh...sometimes I gotta love my job. Wrestling in 50 pounds of mud on a crisp November day.

Thanks to Ms Amey K we screened the video zine at Video In alongside the premier of her film Rise Up. DIY- on the fly video zine is still available for $5 if you shoot me an email.

In August, Urban Outreach will be organizing the second installment of DIY. I would like to bring 12 people together to make music and spoken work videos. This program is completly free and all you need to provide is your time and your ideas. Contact me quick if you're interested, cause we are fill'n up. If you got questions ... leave a comment.

Luv, rage and a bit of a smirk,
Hayley
