Grape Street Elementary School Writers
This inspirational film was created by 20 awesome students at Grape Street Elementary School in Los Angeles, California. During a hands-on filmmaking workshop with Young Moviemakers of America, students decided on the topic of documenting the process of writing their own short stories and developing them into a children’s book.
This touching story of creativity and resilience is captured in a 13-minute film that gives you a glimpse of the magical power of creativity, vision, and commitment.
