Remedee is collaborating with Fernando Pullum Performing Arts High School, an Inner City Education Foundation school, to create a film and media program for under-served teens. This class will teach the basics of production, post-production and distribution through hands-on projects. Students will create artist interviews, short-form online media, and a "thesis" film about an issue relevant to their own life.

Remedee is co-hosting with local facilitators 2-Cent a screening in New Orleans of films from this summer's "Change We Can Create" Summer Camp. This is our second annual event at the amazing New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. If you're in town, come on by and support these amazing youth!

Remedee's second year of youth programming in New Orleans is underway with the "Change We Can Create" Summer Camp at Carver High School. It's sponsored in part by New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) and led by 2-Cent, a group of local, young media-makers who themselves use digital film as a tool for change.

We are thrilled to announce that Daria de Koning Jewelry is hosting a trunk show to benefit Remedee!

The jewelry is exquisite, and a percentage of the sales will benefit our exciting new initiative, The Remedee Center (more on that very soon). Get in touch with us here on our contact form if interested in attending. And check out www.dariadekoning.com for a preview.
