This past summer, a team of 6 youth Apprentices worked together with teaching artists and professional videographers to create 3 videos showcasing the resources and culture of support for creative entrepreneurs in Cincinnati.
Over the course of 7 weeks, the Apprentices learned how to work together as a crew, how to shoot and edit video, and how to interview subjects. They took the assignment from ArtWorks and worked together as a professional creative team to make the following 3 videos.

“There’s a lot of buzz now. There’s a lot of interesting things happening [in Cincinnati], there are a lot of business connections and a rich tradition and history of craft and making things. it’s also a great home base for the manufacturing community; there are a lot of resources nearby. Everyone is interested in helping the other guy out; they just want to work with you because you’re in the area… everybody is down to help and I think that’s unique. There’s a real community that’s just fantastic and really helpful.”

“I’m most excited about using a medium that I’ve never been exposed to before. I’ve never done much with film, but I’m really interested. I want to gain knowledge of how to use the equipment and the technical skills surrounding film, but also how to compose it so it’s aesthetically pleasing and it flows well. I want to learn the whole process.” -Jesse Carson, 15
