Over the summer I interned with award-winning filmmaker, Eve Van Dyke. She was a great mentor, and had me helping her, hands on with projects more than I imagined.
One of the projects was this PSA for People’s Pottery Project. Besides getting to participate in their shoot day, (shot by Director of Photography Cassandra Giraldo), Eve taught me how to layout a script for a project like this and then had me do the basic editing. (Finished product tweaked by her then sent to a colorist).
So grateful for this learning experience, especially for such a great organization, such as the People’s Pottery Project.
From their website:
People’s Pottery Project’s mission is to employ and empower formerly incarcerated women, trans and non-binary individuals through paid job training, access to a healing community, and meaningful employment in our collective non-profit ceramic business.
Our flexible programs allow participants to earn a living wage at every point of involvement with the business, from training, to fabricating, to ongoing employment. We provide opportunities to build technical skills through creative ceramic fabrication work, running the ceramics studio, and teaching ceramics classes to local artists and families, as well as develop business skills such as inventory management, writing and promotions, developing our business strategy, marketing, and sales.
