JAKE'S WAKE
The crew is staffed by select high school and Howard interns whom have found the work (thus far) rewarding and very exhausting!

MEDIA SAVVY @ MOGTEDO, Burkina Faso
The experience was wonderful!
An idea, an unsuccessful fellowship application, a friend, another friend, faith, fate, sheer will, a bartender, family, a mentor, old friends and a new friend made it all happen - it was like a dance!

I thought of all of you while in Ouaga. I worked for you, I hope I "represented". I felt your strength and the kids certainly benefited from your generousity and loving hearts. I look forward to our next/ongoing collaboration(s) and challenge you to consider joining me at FESPACO 2011! :-)
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!

Dear Friends of Slingshot Video,
I have great news! Slingshot Video’s MEDIA SAVVY is headed to Ouagadougou (pronounced Wa Ga Doo Goo)!
Thanks to a lot of encouragement and support from so many, Slingshot Video’s arts education program MEDIA SAVVY has presented media literacy programs to children at the Boys & Girls Club of America, the DC Public Library and the children’s film festival, Kidding Around to name a few. We now set our sites on the Panafrican Film and TV Festival, FESPACO held
in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso, February 28 – March 7, 2009.
We live in a mediated environment. Students need the knowledge, skills, abilities and competence to communicate, critique, create, care and contribute—now that the media are such a large part of life today. MEDIA SAVVY promotes active participation in a media-saturated environment.
You too can participate in our mission to produce and stimulate media savvy minds. Your tax deductible contribution has the potential to cultivate a young artist’s ideas and change a life, a low-risk, high-yield investment indeed.
Won’t you please
support
us in our efforts in creating strong voices in a loud world?
Thank you for your continued support in all manners. We look forward to an extraordinary
2009.
Peace and Blessings, SLINGSHOT VIDEO

A slideshow of the day's events
As many of you discovered, flip books are not easy art
projects. Like all good work, a really good flip book can take a really
long time to complete. But I think you would agree the final project is
worth all the time and effort you put into it.
More than 20 books were created and submitted for capture during the festival! Thanks again for all your hard work and very good company.
If you have finalized your flip book since the workshop and would like to have it included in the final program, please contact us and we will be happy to include your book in the program.
It was a pleasure meeting all of you. I do hope we get the opportunity to animate again, soon.
Mrs. Seals
See you next year!
