“My son has met like minded students in his age group… and they have formed a bond over their love of filmmaking...He is more confident as an individual and has become more skilled at his filmmaking abilities and team building skills after attending the workshop.”

"As a local, independent filmmaker, I know how hard it is to get your work shown... Small art films play a vital role in maintaining the diversity and richness of our cultural heritage…This is why Vinegar Hill Theater plays a critical role in sustaining the arts in Charlottesville.”
