"Lights, Camera, Action" is a youth workshop that aims to introduce young participants to the fundamentals of filmmaking, from brainstorming and writing to filming and editing short films. Participants will learn essential skills, such as storyboarding, scriptwriting, camera techniques, and the process of creating a short film. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have developed a short film of their own, gaining hands-on experience in the world of film production.

 

Each session will be a different workshop! Check out the NAGLY Calendar for specific topics. 

 

We are partnering with Peabody Access TV and will be using their equipment and their expertise!

Photo Voice uses images as a tool to identify problems by posing meaningful questions in a community to find solutions. For NAGLY Youth, Youth will be tasked with the question:

What does Pride mean to you?

​

During this 6-week workshop series, you will be tasked with taking photos that activate your voice through photography! Each week we will go out in the community and take 5-6 photos.  We will then come back as a group and discuss.  By the end of this journey, each youth will choose one of their photos to get professionally printed and displayed both at NAGLY and other art galleries, if approved. 

​

Open to LGBTQ+ youth ages 14-18
