First Time Narrative Filmmaking With Grace Kelly!
As a filmmaker who specialized in filming documentaries in the past, I decided to take the opportunity the Student Board gave me and attempt creating a narrative film. While the process in making a documentary or a narrative are vastly different, they are both equally rewarding. In the past, my favorite part of making a documentary has been the interviewing portion because that is where I get to play with the settings on the camera and decide how I want the interview to look. With narrative, I am excited to try editing the scenes since I won’t have to create [...]

With Pride Month right around the corner in June, there have been many queer-positive shows appearing in streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, etc, but one show that I and my queer friends have fallen in love with is called "Our Flag Means Death".

Meet Our Reel Stories Intern, Grace Kelly!
Hello! I am Grace Kelly, I’m 17 years old and I am a senior at Campolindo High School. I’ve been learning and studying film for about four or five years now and I have found that it has taken over my interests. I love any form of art that is visual such as painting and drawing as well (although I’m not very skilled at it). I found a love for theater tech as well and I am now the president and video director of my tech club at school! I fell in love with film because it was a way [...]
Review of “What I Should Have Said” by Jamie Donohoe

Donohoe said that the dinner table is the one time where everybody is together and that, for him, it was a time where he received good and bad news with his family and so for everyone to lie and say they [...]
