“Take One” Youth Film Mentorship Program, powered by The Philadelphia Film Factory (Philm Factory) in partnership with We Embrace Fatherhood, provides local youth with various educational opportunities to gain empirical film experience with training, professional and personal development, and exposure to the business of film. Take One’s unique programming incorporates a gamified learning experience for all of our trainings.
Filmmaking is such a dynamic field because not only does it include being creative, but it involves life skills such as critical thinking, decision making, communication and leadership skills, mathematics and budgeting, strategizing and team building. Additionally, our youth participants will have the opportunity to build their public speaking skills and learn to be solution-driven when challenges arise. After all, filmmaking is all about working with multi-functional teams and problem solving to create the finished product: a film!
2023 TAKE ONE YOUTH “WISH” SCREENING
“Take One” youth mentorship Program participants arrived in their best red carpet attire for their first private screening of their short film” Wish” that also included an award ceremony at the Academy of Natural Sciences on August 19th 2023. The screening was well attended with an audience of approximately 250. Following the film, the audience had the opportunity to watch the behind the scenes video and interviews that consisted of “Take One” youth participants and their parents expressing their experiences with the program. Once the award ceremony ended, the youth celebrated their wins and accomplishments in their private V.I.P room. It was a night to remember for the youth who had never seen themselves or work on the BIG screen!
