Del Valle Digital Media Workshop
The Mobile Film School is THRILLED to produce our third digital media workshop, this time in partnership with Del Valle ISD, in the rural community of Del Valle, Texas. Fifteen high school students, ranging from freshman to seniors, participated in an 8-day, intensive documentary workshop from March 15-22, 2008. MFS faculty, staff and students clocked in roughly 99 hours of production time, which included presentations from industry professionals Jim Hart, Kate Dawson, Bill Crawford and Barry Coffing, as well as intensive instruction on the digital film and editing equipment. At the end of this course, the students produced a 9 minute short documentary film titled Till Death Do Us Part?, which focuses on the topic of marriage and divorce from their own personal experiences. Nearly 100 residents and friends turned up for the successful premiere screening, held at the Del Valle High School Auditorium on on Saturday, March 22. We want to make a special thanks to the Austin School of Film for providing post-production equipment, software, and support.

Mobile Film School Recognized as Film School of the Week
MovieMaker Magazine has featured the Mobile Film School as the film school of the week. Here what they have to say:
Getting an education in movie making can be tough - the best programs can be almost impossible to get into, and cost alone is enough of a deterrent for some. But what about those who have no access to a film school, or even the equipment they need to start making movies on their own? The Mobile Film School was founded with these people in mind, with the mission to reach out to underserved communities by bringing film school to them.
