This workshop series is a collaboration between S.W.A.M.P. (Southwest Alternate Media Project) and Hakima Video Production, designed to introduce beginner filmmakers to the power of editing as a storytelling tool. Led by a veteran media educator with over 30 years in journalism and youth mentorship, the program emphasizes creativity, cultural voice, and hands-on learning.

Students will not only learn editing principles — they’ll discover how to shape emotion, rhythm, and meaning through their own stories. This is not a software tutorial. It’s a legacy-building experience in the art of editing and storytelling.
