These digital filmmaking devices will put my theatre students in direct contact with their audience. My students are living in extraordinary circumstances on Chicago's south side. They are from low-income families and their neighborhood is beset by gang violence. They are the students that are often talked about in the news. But they are so much more than a headline. These strong, vibrant students need an outlet to tell their stories and share them with an audience. Using the equipment, including iPads, cameras, and tripods, to film a web series for the internet allows the students an opportunity to create original material that can be shared with an audience without the high costs of making a movie or putting on a live theatrical production. My students are filled to the brim with ideas, and this equipment will help them to take what's inside their minds and translate it into a visual story. My students will write, produce, edit and market their own web series using the equipment you donated. You will give them a voice and platform to be heard.
