Premiere Screening: Watch the Films Below

March 22nd, 2018 at 6:30pm

Join us for the premiere screening of MORRELL PARK: PROJECTED  that will  take place on Thursday evening, March 22nd at the Jewish Museum of Maryland.  Mark your calendars so that you reserve a seat to meet these 8th grade students and celebrate their family stories and the community of Morrell Park.

Morrell Park: PROJECTED is a collaborative effort between the JMM and Morrell Park that is intended to provide students with opportunities to learn about sharing their family histories in meaningful ways. With the assistance of J. Scott Fuqua, an award winning young adult author, and Johns Hopkins University film students, our year-long project will teach participating 8th grade students how to interview family members and then develop and share their personal stories with a broader community. Two films will be developed over the course of the program: One film with showcase the short stories and interviews that the students edited on their smart phones.  A second film, to be shown at a later date, will be the actual documentation of working with the students throughout the year in the classroom and in the Morrell Park community.

Check out this interview with J. Scott Fuqua, and JHU film student Amelia Voos for WYPR’s On the Record.

Morrell Park: Projected was supported by a generous Excellence Grant from Wells Fargo.
