Just think of all that expertise that could instruct young teachers in training at local teacher's colleges. This web marks the beginning of a nonprofit movie production and education organization. Provide equipment, support and training to teachers and students in school grades K-12 for the production of movies in the amateur gauge Regular 8mm format. Some movies that are produced may be copied and saved for showing. Students should be able to actively pursue their interests.
Film making is very interesting, but usually unavailable anymore.
I believe that if students were exposed to film making some of them would want to do it. The more choices students have in what to become involved in, the more students will become active learners. I say, let some of them do different things. Provide film making to students in grades K-12. Run by one person the program ends with the involvement of that person.
