EnVision Me Student Showcase

Join us in celebration of Charlotte’s emerging filmmakers and change agents! Experience an evening filled with extraordinary storytelling through the lens of Hopewell High School students whose original photos, interviews, and films cover community issues, personal stories, triumphs, and future dreams.

Enjoy the night with the premiere of a gallery of photos and documentaries created by participants from the Gantt’s EnVision Me program. Envision Me seeks to cultivate student creativity by designing culturally rich, project-oriented experiences.

Students present their personal stories through short films created during the EnVision Me nine-month program. Friends, family, and the community are invited to support these students and their passion for storytelling, with a reception to follow.

Applaud Charlotte youth by viewing the EnVision Me premiere of imaginative storytelling of rising creatives from local Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools! If you have questions, please contact us at education@ganttcenter.org.

EnVision Me is a 12-week project that uses the arts to empower and educate youth. The Gantt has partnered with Hopewell High School to offer filmmaking instruction to a cohort of interested and invested students. This cohort learns every step of film production via a blend of virtual and on-site sessions.

Students have access to state-of-the-art equipment and educators to learn the basics of filmmaking, from scriptwriting and cinematography, to editing and film treatment. The course includes weekly hands-on sessions and homework assignments. The final product is a short film that the cohort premieres to family, friends, and the Charlotte community at the Gantt Center.
