Outside the Frame: films produced by young filmmakers who have experienced homelessness
"For the second year in a row Outside In’s Guerilla Theatre youth have created films about issues that are important to them. Young filmmakers first participated in a three-week intensive film internship. Interns learned to use filmmaking equipment and wrote, storyboarded, recorded, directed, acted in and edited their pieces. Youth worked from pre-production to post-production with support from Portland Youth Media to create films based on their experiences, in an effort to inspire and educate their peers and the community."http://www.pcs.org/blog/item/outside-in-screening-original-films-by-homeless-youth/

This event is free and open to the public but please reserve your seat at brownpapertickets.com
