Ghetto Film School uses Google+ to teach master classes in filmmaking
The best thing about building tools is seeing what people do with them. Since Google+ launched, it’s been fascinating to discover people using it in ways we never could have dreamed up—like the photographer who figured out how to turn a camera, a phone and Hangouts into Virtual Photo Walks (http://www.youtube.com/user/GooglePlusStories/custom?x=virtualphotowalks).
Ghetto Film School (http://ghettofilm.org/) had a different idea. They’ve been running filmmaking programs for young people in their South Bronx neighborhood since 2000, and when they heard about Google+, they thought it would be a great way to bring what they do to teenagers beyond the Bronx. And from that simple idea, Ghetto Film School’s MasterClass ******—discussions between great directors and young filmmakers from around the world—was born.
Ghetto Film School’s story is the latest addition to the Google+ Stories YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/googleplusstories). Each video captures how people—from small business owners (http://www.youtube.com/user/GooglePlusStories/custom?x=knitters) to astro**my fans (http://www.youtube.com/user/GooglePlusStories/custom?x=starparties) to journalists (http://www.youtube.com/user/GooglePlusStories/custom?x=plusketeers)—are using Google+ to connect with others who share their interests. Have a Google+ story of your own? We’d love to hear about it (http://www.youtube.com/googleplusstories).
