When schools are out for the summer, Austin Public Library (APL) sees an influx of visiting teenagers. APL uses this opportunity to create teen-centric programming to provide these young adults with something to do while building social, literacy, and technical skills. For summer 2019, I created a summer-long film school for APL Central to offer their teen customers. It will consist of six masterclasses taught by professional filmmakers and weekly lab hours for teens to collaborate on one of three film projects. It will culminate in a screening of the films at the Austin Film Society's theatre in August. Despite sudden budget changes, slow-to-respond vendor partners, and an unexpected staff reorganization, I created a program plan, development resources, book displays, troubleshooting guide, and associated marketing to allow APL to successfully put on this series of programs.
