About
Mobile Film Classroom
The Mobile Film Classroom (MFC) represents
a revolutionary way of teaching in the digital age. Today’s
youth speak a digital language and are actually excited to
learn through digital media. Digital media as a teaching tool
is immediate, relevant and current. It can be applied to students’
educational, personal and future professional lives.
The MFC is a complete mobile digital production unit equipped
with cameras, microphones, video and audio editing hardware
and software, sound recording booth and DVD production equipment.
Instructors guide students through the digital media creation
process, whether writing, filming, narrating or film and music
editing.

Since
its inception in early 2006, the Mobile Film Classroom has served
2500 Los Angeles area elementary, middle and high school students.
The MFC truly evens the educational playing field. No matter
their socio-economic status or what resources are available
to students and schools, all now have access to the same state-of-the-art
digital media equipment and professional digital media instruction.
Students learn they not only have a voice, but it is worthy
of being heard. And as was the goal of film pioneer Mary Pickford
in forming United Artists in 1919 with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie
Chaplin and D.W. Griffith, students are empowered to control
where and how their voice is heard. Classes also encourage critical
thinking and social consciousness, emphasize teamwork and patience,
and develop students’ sense of accomplishment and self
esteem. |
