This is a placeholder for a short intro line orienting a visitor to who runs the Film Crew and why it exists.
Most youth film programs in the area are limited to spring break and summer, or late hours with all ages. They’re also pretty expensive, or not taught by industry professionals. I wanted to invest my kid’s time — and my money — into high-level instruction from real filmmakers: the kind of experience that builds salable skills, boosts confidence, and gives teens something solid for a resume or college portfolio.
So, working with my sister Ruhi, we put together ATX Youth Media Works for homeschool teens ages 15–18 who love movies, storytelling, and media — and want to turn their passion into real-world skills.
This is placeholder copy describing the program: teen filmmaking & video, podcasting, and student-led social media, taught hands-on with real equipment. Open to all skill levels — no experience required to join.
This is placeholder copy explaining the Austin Public Access (APA) Producer Program mentorship — students learn on real broadcast equipment and their finished projects air on public access TV.
This is placeholder copy reinforcing that the Film Crew is drop-in friendly — students can join at any point in a session, at any skill level.
