INDIANAPOLIS, IN – In 2011, the NGOs Global Nomads Group (GNG) and American Field Service developed an exchange program between students from Southeast Asia and the United States. The goal of the project was to develop cross-cultural literacy through participatory filmmaking. As an employee of GNG, I participated in this project as a curriculum consultant, teaching artist, and as one of the producers for the program’s video One LENS: Cultivating Cross-cultural Literacy through Film and Digital Stories. The video followed one of the three pairs of schools that participated in the program–students from the Malaysia Federation for the Deaf and the Indiana School for the Deaf. The video, Deaf People Can Do Anything Except Hear, is a product of one of the workshops that I directed with that same group of students.

Checked your site to see how your doing and it seems everything is going well. I enjoyed the Oaxaca young artist piece and will send the link to my family living there. Hope the big city is still fun.
Take care,
John
Hi John, Yes. all is good in the big city—especially now that winter is over. And I’ve recently came back to Adobe Premiere. The editing system you taught me! 🙂
