Sacred Heart Greenwich students awaken stories about life

The Filmaking & Media Studies program from Sacred Heart Greenwich was founded in 2001 and created a dynamic, interdisciplinary program that integrates the media, technology and entrepreneurship. The program was developed to strengthen both students and faculties, and promotes creativity, critical thinking and skills to solve the problem in order to cope with the challenges of the real world. The students took over the mission of creating convincing video controls to present these non -profit organizations as part of their advanced filmmaking from Real World, an election course that gives the students the opportunity to create social change through filmmaking. By bridging technology and creativity, the program for filmmaking and media studies continues to position Sacred Heart Greenwich at the head of academic innovation.

In the past six months, the students have worked closely with the organizations to bring their stories to life. The process included researching the non -profit organizations, the implementation of interviews, recording video material, managing audio and processing of documentaries. Each student worked together in pairs to produce videos for two of the non -profit organizations, each taking the lead for one of the projects.

“This project was an incredible opportunity for our students to use their skills in a real environment and to learn about local non -profit organizations and the positive change that they drive forward,” said Ellyn Stewart, director of media studies, design and innovation at Sacred Heart Greenwich. “The students worked hard to understand the mission of every non -profit organization and to communicate their effects in a sensible way. It was inspiring to see how your passion grows when you bring these stories to life. “

The video series went through a thorough review and processing process with feedback from Sacred Heart Greenwich educators, Impact FFC leadership and colleagues. The end result is a mighty collection of videos that celebrate the mission of the individual non -profit organizations and emphasize the crucial role that they play in Fairfield County.

“For me as a young filmmaker and student, the collaboration with Impact FFC was both enriched and inspiring,” said Natasha Arakal '25, senior in the extended Real World filmmaking class. “I had the opportunity to learn and work together from non-profit organizations in my local community. What it was more special about was that the film-made course partner of my all-girl with a female organization “

Enable young women to enable the community

“We are pleased to work with Sacred Heart Greenwich on this exciting project,” said Annika Kennon, Co-President of the Impact FFC. “These videos are not only valuable for the non -profit organizations, many of which work with limited resources, but also offer our younger members of the community the opportunity to find out more about organizations that they may not have known about yet. It is a wave effect: the students are committed, learning and sharing their newly discovered knowledge with others. “

The commitment of Sacred Heart Greenwich to enable young women are good with the mission of impact, FFCS purely female membership. Both organizations are dedicated to promoting management and social responsibility in the next generation.

“We are proud to be part of this inspiring partnership,” said Michael Baber, President of Sacred Heart Greenwich. “This project is a fantastic way to celebrate the 10-year journey of Impact Fairfield County and offer our students a platform not only to learn, but also to return something. By highlighting these amazing scholarship holders, we inform our girls about the power of philanthropy and help to create content that will serve the non -profit community in the future. “
