DIGITAL BOOTCAMP
The Digital Boot Camp is a community collaboration between Hook Arts Media, South Brooklyn Community High School and Good Shepherd Services. It is a summer intensive film production program for teens and young adults ages 16-24 that meets for 20 hours a week Monday through Thursday for four weeks (usually second week of July through first week of August) in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Students learn camera operation, sound recording, use of lighting equipment, video editing software and produce short documentary videos on topics of relevance to themselves and their communities. All participants earn minimum wage equivalent stipends for their participation. The program concludes with a public screening of students’ films for families and friends.

Special Thanks
These programs are made possible with the support of our community partners. In 2013, Hook Arts Media collaborated with Red Hook Initiative, the South Brooklyn Community High School, and Good Shepherd Services to launch a summer filmmaking intensive called Digital Boot Camp. In Transition: Media, our after school filmmaking program, grew out of the summer Digital Boot Camp, in collaboration with Red Hook Initiative, South Brooklyn Community High School, and Good Shepherd Services.
