Movie of the Week: "Family Connection" by Toby Pannone

“I want to create a story after filming, and warp views, make things big or small or different shapes and explore the things listed in some way or another. I don’t want to have a real goal or a plan until I have the building blocks.” Toby’s goal was to tie feelings to places. He hopes his film would allow people to connect places to memories and memories to places. Toby shared, “The Reel Works Summer Lab was an amazing experience, where I got to work with people who were interested in the same things as me, and where I got multiple opportunities to make films using equipment I may not have in any other scenario. My film, Family Connection, came together almost completely in the editing process, and I was supported throughout the entire endeavor.”The Summer Lab is a four-week intensive experimental filmmaking workshop for rising 9th and 10th graders. Reel Works presents “Movie of the Week” to showcase the exemplary films made by our young filmmakers.
