“I’m looking forward to showing our club’s film from the Shoot Out Cheyenne, ‘To Be A Cowboy.’ I am proud of it,” Best of the West President Emily Robinson said. The seminar will offer four workshops: digital storytelling, camera basics, three-point lighting and audio production.

It is now gone.

BUT…the students (all of whom survived) went back into the
rubble of their building and found their cameras. And they are
now shooting – making a visual record of Haitians (by
Haitians) during this crisis.

What can we do?

The Institute relies on the support of individuals,
organizations and film professionals from around the world to
support a movement that harnesses the power of film to educate
and create opportunity for Haiti’s youth.

Check out the website and donate anything you can to help
rebuild the school – and give these passionate students hope
for their future. http://www.cineinstitute.com

The Prince of Broadway

USA, Feature Film, 2008, 99 min
Grand Prize Winner at the
Turin International Film Festival
The latest film by rising-star indie filmmaker Sean Baker is about
Lucky, a charismatic West African NYC street salesman with a
hearty laugh who runs a nonstop hustle selling knock-off designer
merchandise to passing tourists. Lucky’s luck changes when his
ex-girfriend drops off a baby she says is his, and then disappears.
Like all new parents, Lucky finds that his life has turned upside
down.
The genius of this film is that Lucky is played by a real Ghanian
NYC street hustler named Prince Adu, who attracted other
outrageous characters from his neighborhood to play themselves
in the film. Their complicated personal stories began to weave
into Baker’s fictional script, resulting in one of the grittiest and
surprisingly funny films about the lives and loves of immigrants in
America that you’ll ever see.
Directed by Sean Baker
