WHAT IS MY P.E. KIDS FILM & MEDIA ACADEMY?


My P.E. Kids is a hands-on film and media program where young people learn by creating. Students are introduced to the basics of camera operation, filmmaking, acting, storytelling, interviewing, reporting, photography, audio and production.

Students have opportunities to work in front of the camera and behind the scenes, depending on their interests, experience level and the needs of each project. Beginners are welcome!

Projects & Opportunities

  • 👻 October Scary Short — CURRENT PROJECT — Students will help create an age-appropriate suspense/scary short film. Depending on their level and interests, they may work in front of the camera as actors or behind the scenes with camera, audio, directing and production.

  • 🎬 Create a Film in a Day / Create a Film in 2 Days — Students experience the excitement of taking an idea from concept to camera in a short amount of time. They learn how a production team works together to write, act, direct, operate cameras, capture sound and complete an original short film.

  • 🖤 Black in 828 — Students help document stories that deserve to be preserved. Black in 828: Businesshighlights Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, while Black in 828: Legacy helps preserve interviews and stories from elders, underserved voices and community legends.

  • 🏀 My P.E. Sports — Students gain experience covering sporting events through photography, videography, player interviews, highlights and sports reporting. We have partnered with The Good Steward Foundation to help expand opportunities through our sports branch.

  • 🔎 Who Done It? — An interactive filmmaking mystery where students use scripts, characters, camera angles, acting and reporting to investigate a fictional mystery. Students film clues, interrogations, witness statements and news reports while learning how a story comes together on camera.

  • 🎤 Reporting Around the 828 — Students become young reporters and media creators covering events and stories throughout our community. They practice interviewing, on-camera reporting, photography, videography, B-roll and storytelling.
