About Eye on Video
Eye on Video provides teens with the opportunity to learn artistic skills from Teaching Artists (for example, the filmmakers from Hartford Film Company) and career-skills training to prepare them for today’s creative workplace. Each student also receives a weekly stipend, so they don’t have to choose between a quality arts education and a summer job. The Real Art Ways film curriculum includes camera operation, scriptwriting, storytelling, composition, critique skills, and digital video production, which includes editing, sound design, and lighting design.
Eye on Video receives generous support from The Common Sense Fund, The Ellen Jeanne Goldfarb Memorial Charitable Trust, The Scripps Family Fund for Education and the Arts, Stanley Black & Decker, and The Gawlicki Family Foundation and Theodore M. Gawlicki, Trustee.
