“This is a commitment that Reel Works knows all too well. Standing as a non-profit organization for over twenty years, Reel Works’ origins began in 2001, by producers John Williams and Stephanie Walter, who were initially hired to teach teens how to create documentary films.
Now in its twenty-third year, Reel Works has grown to assist over one thousand and six hundred adolescent students throughout their schooling to help establish their careers in media. Reel Works exists as the only filmmaking program that matches teens with their own professional, filmmaker-mentors.”
