May classes



Kim Shults, the New Arrivals teacher at Hoover High, invited us to come into her classroom to teach her students about filmmaking. She has a total of 22 students from all over the world, including Vietnam, Mexico, Peru, Burma, Yemen, Congo, and Ethiopia! Although the language barrier has been difficult for them, hopefully the universal language of film will help them communicate to the world their unique experiences. We hope through teaching, we'll be able to capture all of their amazing stories, from their journey to the United States to what it's like to acclimate to a new country. Stay tuned!

Free Films at Teralta Park: Wall-E

On April 29th, we had another free film at Teralta Park located in City Heights. This time, we invited families and friends from all around the San Diego community to join us as we showcased the fun film, "Wall-E"!
This little guy was one of the first people to grab a spot in front of our big screen! We gave him a prize for being so awesome. :)

Our staff work hard to get the big screen up and ready before sun-down.

We work hard to outreach to all community members, no matter how big or small!

As the sun went down the temperature also dropped to be very chilly... but families stuck with us and continued to watch the movie. Although we had a rather wet interruption that caused us to end the event early, everyone that came out had a great time with their families and friends.

Please join us for our next free screening also at Teralta Park! Next time, we'll be spending some quality time with a green ogre and his donkey friend. Please come out and watch "Shrek" with us on May 27th at 7:30PM. Hope to see you there!
