Over the past month, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month, and to close it out, we’re excited to share a short sizzle reel created by our talented 9th grade filmmakers at Motion Picture Technical High School! Thank you to @nycschools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos and her amazing team for the opportunity to capture this magical event. We are committed to training our students to capture key moments and voices that celebrate world cultures, diversity, and inclusion. A special shoutout to the talented visual artists from The High School of Art & Design and to our amazing MPT filmmakers: Marieli, Joshwa, Jorge, Rajaa, and Angelina, for stepping up and creating something truly special! 🎥✨ @artanddesignnyc

🌟 What an exciting day yesterday at Motion Picture Technical High School! We were thrilled to welcome Ms. Fallon Ward from the Louisiana Academy of Production, our sister school under the Roybal Film & Television Production Fund partnership. 🎥✨ @laap_br @roybalfilmandtv Ms. Ward visited our classrooms to witness the “movie” magic happening every day with our founding 9th-grade filmmakers. Our students had the incredible opportunity to hear from her and the team from The New Schools Facility Partners, who shared insights on the amazing bicoastal collaboration between all #INDSTRY partnering Film & CTE schools. Together, we’re all focused on empowering the next generation of filmmakers and industry professionals! 🌎🎬 Congratulations to Louisiana Academy of Production on your upcoming launch—we can’t wait for the exciting collaborations ahead! 💫 #FilmCTE #FutureFilmmakers #BicoastalPartnership #RoybalFund #MotionPictureTechnicalHS #Filmmaking #CTE #IndustryProfessionals
