Digital Filmmaking helps Save Honeybees!



The Digital Filmmaking department, under the leadership of Eve Okupniak, is working with non-profits to bring professional experience to the classroom, while helping out with important causes.

This past quarter students from Jason Moore and Susi Graf's classes worked with both the Honey Bee Conservancy and the NY Pops. Guillermo Fernandez, director of the Honey Bee Conservancy, reports that he is very happy with the work produced. "....the PSAs produced by Jason Moore's class have been viewed 700 + times on YouTube and Vimeo in less than a month. The Honeybee Conservancy has a very tiny budget and a small staff, and AiNYC has really helped us make much more of an impact than we otherwise could have had." The Conservancy will be working with Jason's class again this quarter.
