Anti-bullying short film

This past semester I taught video production at Newark Technology High School as part of an after-school program called Real World Connections.

For the final project, the students and I made a short pilot video for an anti-bullying short film titled "Courage is Fire".

An amazing production story is that the second clip in the video which shows one boy repeatedly kicking the other on the ground was not staged. While filming the opening scene, we saw a group across the street "play" fighting and I recorded it.

We're now using a popular website called Kickstarter to raise a budget for a full production in the summer. You can see the pilot video here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1965586460/courage-is-fire
