These films were made in the 2019 Vernon Video Production Program, made possible by financial support from Telus StoryHive. 16 local youth, excited about filmmaking and interested in using film for social change, learned how to plan, produce, and edit in small teams over an intensive five days. They created 5 short, issue-based films, about local drag artist Romi Kim, vandalism of a community rainbow crosswalk, the power of music, ethics of coffee, and, just for fun, a scary movie set in the Vernon woods.
In our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world—a just humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully and without fear. A community where no one is exiled or silenced because of gender, gender expression, race, color, ethnic or national origin, religion, sexual/affectional orientation, age, class, physical character or disability. We believe in the power of storytelling to make connections across difference.
