Communications Staff
Since 2009, the Apollo Outreach Initiative has hosted the Apollo Outreach Summer Workshop for Teens, a two-week intensive in which a group of Oberlin College students teach a small cohort of local middle- and high-school students all aspects of the filmmaking process. During the workshop, students produce a series of green screen and stop motion animation experiments and a complete short film, all of which are screened at a closing gala.
This year’s gala will be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 21, at the Apollo Theatre. It is free and open to the public.
