NEW COLLABORATIVE PROJECT ANNOUCEMENT!

GIRLS MAKING MEDIA is thrilled to announce that Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting Network was selected as recipient of the Tucson Pima Arts Council 2011-2012 P.L.A.C.E III Project Grant. Between March and December of 2012, Iskashitaa will collaborate with Girls Making Media to archive Iskashitaa local recipes and refugee stories related to food and culture in two forms: a cookbook and digital stories. We look forward to learning and educating about refugees in the arts through this project. Thanks to Barbara Eiswerth for including us in this meaningful multigenerational project!

What a blast :)


Hey this is Hannah, age 17, Tucson, AZ.
I truly think this is the best PSA I have ever done. I have worked a lot with video equipment before and I have experience in PSA and documentary filmmaking. I believe that this was the best one I've made. Working with Girls Making Media was so great.
When I signed up I was just looking for something interesting to do and I was hoping to meet new people. I had SO MUCH FUN! This was a blast! I felt so inspired and the area was so open and free and I felt so comfortable. I was nervous coming in but in no time, I felt right at home.
The other girls were so nice and the instructors knew a lot. I never expected to have such a great experience. I liked the programs we used and how easy it was. All of us created such incredible PSAs and we worked really hard.
I like that it didnt take up a lot of time and you could go at your own pace. I felt that I could really express my creative spirit here and it was welcomed.
My favorite part was at the end watching the final version of my PSA and how proud I felt inside.
I look forward to seeing what the girls from the next sessions come up with next! I had a lot of fun and I am so proud of myself.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this wonderful experience :)
