MSU Professor Collaborates on Baltimore Film Project

In a bid to address Baltimore’s chronic ills through the arts, Johns Hopkins University announced Monday it is starting a youth film-making program so urban teens and young adults can portray their community while gaining skills and experience that could land them jobs.

With a $1.6 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the university said it plans to offer documentary film and photography workshops beginning next spring in collaboration with faculty and experts at other Baltimore schools and nonprofit organizations.
