Reel Works Partners with NYC Schools & Communities

Reel Works in Schools and Communities brings the power of our award-winning filmmaking workshops into the classrooms of public schools and the spaces of community-based organizations.

Project-Based Learning

COURSES: documentary filmmaking, narrative filmmaking, experimental storytelling, broadcast media, and other mediums. These disciplines focus on and emphasize artistic expression through active engagement. MediaMKRS Badges are awarded in all classrooms to celebrate student filmmaking skills and encourage participation in After School programs at Reel Works.

Practical hands-on exercises keep students engaged as they master filmmaking technologies. The lessons and workshops are facilitated by professional filmmakers trained through our Teaching Artist University, who receive support through a robust curriculum and outstanding Assistant Teaching Artists.
