Real Girls, Reel Change Videos

If you have been following this blog, you know all about Real Girls, Reel Change, the filmmaker residency that we hosted with Working Films and Chicken and Egg Pictures in October.  This innovative residency brought together six filmmakers with films about girls to plan their community engagement campaigns.  On the third day of the residency, we brought the filmmakers together with girl-focused non-profits and funders to discuss the next steps for bringing these powerful films to the audiences they are intended to reach.  To document the powerful energy of Day 3, we invited the Power Writers, a Bronx-based group of youth poets.  These talented writers observed the Day 3 events, wrote poems about the films and the discussions and then shared their poetry with the group to end the residency.  Below are a series of videos that are representative of the Real Girls, Reel Change atmosphere.  To watch more videos, check out The Fledgling Fund YouTube Channel.
