The students from the BCCP Erasmus Hall and New Utrecht HS Programs met up to enjoy an evening at the movies to watch Hunger Games at the UA Court Street Theatre. It’s always great to hang out with our other BCCP program friends.
Girl’s Club at the Tribeca Film Festival
We attended the Tribeca Film Festival’s Youth Showcase, “Our City, My Story” on April 26th at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center. We saw student-produced films about the Dream Act, bullying, home foreclosures, sagging, teen pregnancy and what it’s like to be a gay teenager in NYC. The young ladies from Walt Whitman Middle School were thrilled to walk the red carpet and be a part of it all (they also got a bunch of autographs and pictures with the filmmakers).

We also have a lesson in Jamaican slang right before we are magically transported to Jamaica for the quickest dance party in history. Finally, the Whitman crew drives through the Hollywood Hills spotting celebrities. Anything is possible with a blue screen!
