Annandale Film Teacher explains the Technical Side of Filmmaking
Alan Weintraut explains the problems that young filmmakers will run into when producing a high quality film.
Everyone needs to feel significant as an individual, yet connected to something larger. As students learn about and take pride in their local history, they realize their importance as members of a community and its connection to our nation. The American History Film Project works to make that connection daily in the lives of students. The American History Film Project (AHFP) is a multi-disciplinary educational project that teaches students to write, plan, act, film and edit a short film about the history of their local community, then share it with other students across the US. By taking part in this project, students learn that many important and memorable events happened in their community, making them feel important and a part of the whole.

Cary, Illinois
Mary Hilbrink’s film is a general overview of the history of Cary, Illinois submitted for a hometown profile featured in 2015 at ‘The American History Film Project Exhibition’ in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Hers was one of four films selected for the national film festival. She decided to film it with the help of some of her peers who live in Cary; the thinking was it is a short film by a young person “starring” young people. Her friends really enjoyed being included in the project.
