EnVision Me Spring Student Showcase

Join us in celebration of Charlotte’s emerging filmmakers! Experience an evening filled with extraordinary storytelling through the lens of students from Central Piedmont Early College whose original documentaries range from personal stories, to current events, triumphs, and future dreams.

Enjoy the night with the premiere of 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 and learning from local digital media creators.

Students will present their personal stories through short films created during the EnVision Me semester long program. Friends, family and community are invited to support these students and the heart of storytelling, with a wonderful reception to follow.

If you have questions, please email Nicole Beverly at nicole@ganttcenter.org or Zuri Thompson-Johnson at envisionme@ganttcenter.org.

EnVision Me is a 12-week project that uses the arts to empower and educate youth. The Gantt partners with area high schools to offer filmmaking instruction to a cohort of interested and invested students. The 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.
