Clark Prep students awarded first place in national video contest

Clark Prep students were awarded first place winners in the Congress for the New Urbanisms 'Highways to Boulevards' video contest, for their mini-documentary,  Splitting the Tremé. The students who produced the piece will recieve $500 towards next year's productions, and the video was screened at the CNU National Conference June 1.

Through the generous support from Tulane University's New Orleans Center for Gulf South, Tulane, NOVAC and FirstLine Schools have partnered to create an innovative afters school youth media production program at Clark Prep High School in the Tremé. Tulane students from the Place-based Storytelling in New Orleans class, taught by local filmmaker Luisa Dantas, (Land of Opportunity), come to Clark Prep after the school day and work with students conceiving, scripting, shooting and editing productions that reflect Clark Prep students' experiences of the place they call home. Together this year they've created 5 short video pieces, including two documentaries (including Splitting the Tremé), a profile of Clark Prep students, and two narrative shorts, a romance and a horror film.

Clark Prep, Tulane and NOVAC will be hosting the Place-Based Storytelling in New Orleans program again next year, so stay tuned for more great videos created by local teens!
