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.
Ghetto Film School 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. Each video captures how people—from
small business owners to
astro**my fans to
journalists—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.
