Time for a brief update on some things we are working on.
An emphasis will be on mentoring/training projects for the next season. This fall we will begin of a series of film production workshops for young people in Eurasia – using mobile devices as the main production tools.
Trends in global youth culture tell us that the rapid creation and deployment of visual stories – by and for young people – is a key way that kingdom stories will be spread and witnessed in the future. We aim to train 100 young people (ages 16-24) to tell short visual stories using the tools they have in inexpensive mobile phones, smartphones, and desktop computers. It is all about empowerment and creating a groundswell of new storytellers who are not dependent on outside resources and who speak the language of their own generation.
