We are excited to announce that The Generations Project has finished filming, and we are editing like crazy!
For those of you who have not heard, we have been working with a group of students from Holten-Richmond Middle School, and a group of senior citizens from Danvers, MA for the last 4 months. The project met every Monday afternoon, and was an opportunity for the two groups to interview each other, tell stories, and share insights.
The original goal of The Generations Project was to have the participants interview each other on societies views, as well as personal experiences with drugs, alcohol and tobacco during their teenage years, and throughout their lives. During the four months that we spent with each other, this did occur. In addition to the interviews, stories were shared, life lessons were learned, friendships formed, and memories were documented.
On May 17th, 2010 we will be sharing this experience with Danvers at The Danvers Council on Aging. The first screening of this documentary will be for participants, family, friends, and the community. After sharing this project locally, it is our goal to share this project with the world. We are currently submitting The Generations Project to many film festivals, and are working with organizations nation wide to have this project reach as many communities as possible.
All of our generations have a story to tell, a message to share, and room to learn.
We were just lucky enough to be able to capture a small piece of the story here in Danvers.
We hope to see you soon,
Jason
