About the Project

The ALBA Film Studio project at ALBA Community Day School allows students to build storytelling, filmmaking, and graphic design skills through hands-on, student-driven media projects. Participants will learn screenwriting, cinematography, editing, and promotional design while developing films based on personal interests, including cooking videos tied to cultural identity and documentaries about student-led community service projects. The program emphasizes student voice, equity, and advocacy by allowing students to direct their creative vision and showcase their work at local theaters, district events, and film competitions. It fosters cross-curricular collaboration among staff, family involvement through film showcases, and community partnerships. By integrating technical training with self-expression and civic engagement, the program equips students with future-ready skills in media production, leadership, and teamwork
