Projecting Change Film Festival invests in Vancouver's next generation of filmmakers

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 22, 2008) - PROJECTING CHANGE ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL is working with INTERSECTIONS MEDIA (Projections) to create their official film festival trailer. The trailer is produced through a unique film and video mentorship program, designed to empower and build skills of Vancouver youth who face a variety of different risk factors.

Youth are paired up with local industry mentors that guide them through all stages of the creative and technical process. This professional film based mentorship program is designed to facilitate transitions into the workplace and to inspire creative growth among at-risk youth.

Projecting Change Film Festival commissioned this trailer to give a voice to those who are normally not heard. Focusing on the festivals mandate of ACTION THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT, Intersections Media challenged kids to develop a personal story that they felt would educate and inspire people on sustainability and the environment.
