Apply Now for Summer Production Gig ($750 for 2 weeks)

Are you interested in a professional video production gig this summer?  Through Positive Eyes is a project organized by the UCLA Art and Global Health Center that seeks to address key themes of the AIDS epidemic.  This summer ARTLAB+ will be hosting s Through Positive Eyes photography workshop, and the crew needs a couple teens to help document the experience.  

They're looking for 1 teen to serve as production assistant and 1 more to be an assistant/blogger with the documentary team.  The gig runs from the last week of June through about the first week of July, and work will take place at ARTLAB+ and in residences around the city.  Each position will be compensated with $750 for completion of the project, scheduled to last 10-14 days.  Mo Stoebe, the video director, is the primary contact for these positions.  

To apply, create a two-minute self-interview (feel free to get creative), using any kind of video capture device, upload it somewhere public (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and send a link to Mo at mo@modefy.com by the end of this week.  It's not a lot of time, so get on it!

This Through Positive Eyes project is an ARTLAB+ partner program.

Makes Me Wanna Holla (What's Going On... Now)

In 1971, Marvin Gaye captured and commented on the spiritual and cultural chaos of the nation. It's been 40 years. What's changed? What's Going On...Now? Teens from ARTLAB+ and Noise Factory answered that question and confronted social issues in their community in “Makes Me Wanna Holla.” Here’s the visual for this musical piece. Our teens worked on this project for over 4 months and headlined the WGON youth showcase at The Kennedy Center. Enjoy!
