Inside Out Queer Youth 2009

Since 1998, with the support of Charles Street Video, Inside Out initiates the Queer Youth Digital Video Project to provide opportunities for youth to learn video production and post-production in a supportive atmosphere. Queer youth under the age of 25 are mentored through the process of making their first videos from storyboarding and shooting, to post-production and editing. The works are screened at the Festival and many go on to play at festivals around the world. Each year the videos are compiled on tape and distributed free to schools and community organizations. To date, 80 young people have created works through the project. This year, the project will be produced in high definition (HD) video, which involves an upgrade of equipment, skill and overall quality of the final works. The project team this year includes Maureen Grant (Facilitator), Natalyn Tremblay (Assistant Facilitator), Karine Silverwoman (Counsellor), Dennis Day (Editor), Winnie Luk (Inside Out liaison) and Sarah Sharkey Pearce (CSV liaison).
