"REEL ARTS AND SOUL"
Digital visual media is utterly changing the world, production and all our lives! It is the new universal language that will unite and elevate all humankind. The revolution in digital tools and .com Internet venues such as Facebook, Youtube, and MySpace invite literally billions of us to exchange imagery and new knowledge. Youth must be able to communicate in this world with great power, abilities, meaning, and beauty to make their mark and be part of the 21st Century workforce. 3D holography is tomorrow. Technical mastery is certainly fundamental but it is the ability to capture people's hearts and minds with story telling, whether in 15 seconds or feature length works, that makes magic and effectiveness. Sowing inspiration and activism are the intentions of our biannual, Tower of Youth, movie showcase events; the propulsion from the top post-high school CA media institutions; the vision and challenges from our industry career wizard spokespersons that together are the wake up call to every youth, teacher, and family to absolutely demand and engage in this creative learning, expression and life work. Our world needs passionate producers more than passive consumers, agents of change, caring, and selfless leadership. These teen voices, from across North America, demonstrate 'studio' partnerships, the most important communities of this new century. YOUTH ARE THE SOLUTION!
