In Our Own Words - A Short Documentary

"In Our Own Words" is an after school poetry and art club hosted by Clark University undergraduate students for Claremont Academy youth in Worcester, Massachusetts. I was contacted by professor Sarah Michaels to shoot and edit a short documentary following the club throughout the Spring 2017 semester. This documentary is the result of a directed study sponsored by my faculty advisor Soren Sorensen of the Screen Studies department at Clark University.
We appreciate the support we have received from MassHumanities, the Center for the Art of Translation, and Clark University.

Special thanks to the undergraduate students and faculty involved in the course, as well as the Claremont youth who made this a really fun semester! Also thanks to my faculty advisor, Soren Sorensen, who provided generous amounts of feedback throughout the semester helping me shape the documentary into what it is!
