ACHF Arts Access
An 8-12 minute high quality Documentary Film about Rapper "Priest" is filmed and screened to physical audiences of 500+. During project team evaluation sessions, 100% of the student co-producers (including Priest) express that they have gained valuable filmmaking experience, grown in their artistic skills, and feel the film will help redeem Hip Hop to uplift their communities. In response to audience survey questions, 75% or more say the film helps them break their own stereotypes around African American communities. We will have two project team evaluation sessions with Artists and student co-producers; one after post-production and one after screenings. We will have participant and audience counts, and audience surveys at both physical screenings.
Due to Covid, virtual audiences of 350 screened the film on zoom and vimeo sessions. Hundreds more will see the film during the upcoming MSP International and Harlem Hip Hop Film Festivals. 100% of the student co-producers shared personal and artistic growth and positive Hip Hop and community experiences. 98% of audiences responded in agreement to the power of the film to break down stereotypes.
