    Girls Film LA - Their Very Nature

    Shattering gender inequity, our virtual filmmaking 'Their Very Nature' workshop series teaches underrepresented girls and non-binary youth to create short films and Public Service Announcements (PSAs) about their LA experiences, community safety, green solutions and spaces. Taught by Hollywood professionals in a safe, collaborative space, we teach storytelling and technological skills, culminating in a short film or PSA for our LA STEM Collective non-profit partners.
