YAC preps for the ACM Conference

This week in YAC, we split into two committees to prepare for the youth media screening at the Alliance for Community Media Conference.

Mai Cha's group worked on the video intros. Her, Mejid and Pedro
decided on "urban" as the general theme, which would be split into
smaller sections. Though we had a small group, we got quite a bit
done. Mejid came up with some good ideas for transitions between films
and RayLynn thought of good ideas for hosting. RayLynn and Bekka
worked hard on planning the Q&A section. They picked potential hosts,
talked to Witt about a 'field trip' to the Walker, and made a general
list of things that need to be done. Both groups are working to show
that youth do have a voice, and even though we like to play, we can
get things done and DO deserve to be taken seriously.

We still have a lot to do before the conference. Mai Cha's group is
going to shoot in the coming weeks. Bekka's group has to get together
and work out hosts and scripts. Mai Cha has set a deadline for
herself: they plan to have all the intros and outros shot and to at
least have a rough cut by July 17th, with everything to Witt in a fine cut
by early the next week.
