HTYC ANNUAL REPORT
THE HTYC X PINEBLUFF LIGHTHOUSE ACADEMY
On November 12th, 2021, The HTYC implemented it’s first pilot program at PIneBluff LightHouse Charter Academy School. Data was collected from a group of 21 inner-city male youths. Participants were placed in groups by media subject interest and asked to create and demonstrate a short film. Children were given roles of writers, actors, directors, and cameramen and required to work together for the purpose of production of a final project.
