Southside FYI
Chicago, Illinois, United States
We're a summer filmmaking mentorship program serving in the Southside!
Since 2005 the Summer Filmmaking Mentorship program (now Southside Film Youth Initiative) has taken CPS students through the script-to-screen process of producing a short film that they write, direct and edit themselves. Originally created through an IFP-Chicago partnership, this unique program has been a huge success, garnering numerous awards, including national and regional Student Emmys, a cover story in the Chicago Tribune, and, most importantly, new skills, confidence, and dreams!
