Every year\, we expand the workshop to include new curriculum\, new technology and new equipment. \nOur multimedia curriculum includes short film production that reflect the community and current issues effecting the youth participants. This entails the development and creation of documentaries\, scripted narratives and PSA’s produced entirely by the young filmmakers. Curriculum includes learning proper camera operation\, on-set sound recording\, directing actors\, lighting scenes\, editing and music composition. The youth present their final pieces to their community at the conclusion of the workshop. \n\n    In 2019\, we launched the Native Youth Animation Workshop. This program offers hands on instruction in 3-D animation software\, 2-D animation drawn by hand and stop-motion animation. The workshop also provides tours of animation and visual effects studios. This initiative is meant to provide Native youth with the inspiration to explore animation as a viable opportunity and career path. This program has partnered with numerous studios and networks to offer genuine access. \n\nIn 2021\, we created the Native Youth Virtual Reality Workshop. This program introduces cutting edge virtual reality applications and video production to Native youth. The workshop teaches new technology to Native youth so they can have every opportunity available in new technology. This program provides an in-depth look into the possibilities virtual reality provides our community. Our organization has partnered with the most high profile tech companies to provide this program. Check out some stills and vids here! \n\nThe entire program culminates with the Native Youth Multimedia Weekend in November. This has youth from all of our programs attend our annual film festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. This initiative has youth participants from several reservations and communities attend studio tours\, production workshops\, film screenings and attendance to the Native American Media Awards. \nCheck Out Our Past and Current Workshops! \n2023\n2022\n2021\n2020\n2019\n2018\n2017\n2016\n2015\n2014\n2013\n2012\n2011\n2010\n2009 \n  \nSponsors: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Meta\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n National Endowment for the Arts\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Los Angeles County Arts & Culture\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n San Manuel Band of Mission Indians\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n United Talent Agency\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Comcast NBCUniversal\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Sony Pictures Entertainment\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Sony Electronics\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Verizon\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n California Humanities\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Union Bank\n \n \n \n\n\n  URL:https://laskinsfest.com/event/youth-media-and-tech-workshop-overview/ CATEGORIES:Youth Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20090628T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220510T170000 DTSTAMP:20260728T120846 CREATED:20220510T030927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220529T013900Z UID:10826-1246176000-1652202000@laskinsfest.com SUMMARY:2009 Native Youth Media and Tech Workshops DESCRIPTION:Since 2009\, we have taught film workshops to youth at reservations and Native American urban centers throughout the United States and Canada. The participating youth learn about writing\, directing\, shooting and editing their own movies.  Equally important\, the youth present these films to their tribal communities and speak before an audience. Check out images from our first Native youth cohort: \n \nIn 2009\, we collaborated with Central High\, a federally funded Native American High School located in downtown Los Angeles.  We worked with over a dozen Native American youth who reside in Los Angeles.  For the entire eight-day workshop\, we brought the participating youth to the University of Southern California’s George Lucas School of Cinematic Arts. This was one of our sponsoring organizations that provided classrooms\, computer labs\, and production equipment.  The youth produced  narrative films and presented them at the Pechanga Indian Reservation in Riverside\, California. Check out one of the films they produced during the week: URL:https://laskinsfest.com/event/2009-native-youth-media-and-tech-workshops/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191101T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191101T235900 DTSTAMP:20260728T120846 CREATED:20190829T192648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191105T054622Z UID:6807-1572595200-1572652740@laskinsfest.com SUMMARY:INAUGURAL NATIVE AMERICAN ANIMATION LAB DESCRIPTION:Submissions Now Closed! \nThe LA Skins Fest\, in partnership with Comcast NBCUniversal\, The Walt Disney Studios\, Crunchyroll\, Fullscreen\, Rooster Teeth\, Cartoon Network Studios and Sugarshack Animation\, is launching the Native American Animation Lab.
