PORT HURON PROJECT 5: Call for Artists & Film Makers
Internationally recognized artist and Brown University professor Mark Tribe is seeking student artists and film makers to help crew on Port Huron Project 5: The Liberation of Our People, an HD video based on a public reenactment of a protest speech originally given by legendary activist and Black Panther Angela Davis.
This is a great opportunity to gain professional experience, build your resume, and take part in political art history. Most importantly, this event will be staffed by local high school students from the organization "Community Bridge Video" - so all crew members will be simultaneously mentoring these students on production and craft.
Event is very high-profile.
