This May, TCYMN hosted its second annual Youth Media Summit at the Hennepin County Central Library. The Summit was a huge success: 30 youth from TCYMN Member organizations made six original films in just six hours. Groups of youth were given a genre and a prop (a slinky) and all filming took place within a two block radius of the library. Here are the films that the youth created.
"What Just Happened?!" - Experimental
"Truth & Confessions" - Sci-Fi
"The Package" - Action
"Slinkies For All Ages" - Documentary
"Belief" - Music Video
"Attack of the Slinky" - Horror
The TCYMN 2010 Youth Media Summit was made possible with the generous help of Hennepin County Libraries.
