Reel Serious is a documentary film afterschool program that gives young filmmakers the tools to create, produce and distribute short films of relevance. Through the use of teamwork, technology and innovation Reel Serious affords storytellers a chance to explore their communities, discuss real issues or shine a light on a local hero. Our mission is to provide young storytellers the
opportunity to explore their communities and promote social change through the creation of a real serious documentary.
Reel Serious’ filmmakers create HIT films:
