Tommy Reuff Executive Director of Happen, Inc shared his journey from Co-Founder, Art Director, and Copy Writer of Barefoot Advertising in Cincinnati to leaving the advertising world in 1998 with the mission of bringing together parents and children in a highly creative way. He shared a film made during one of his Lights-Camera-Learning in Action workshops. These 6 week sessions provide hands-on introduction to the filmmaking process. Kids team up with local filmmaking professionals to write, create sets and props for, produce, act in, and direct a six minute short film. The final film premiere takes place at a local theatre.
WSU alumni Selena Burks shared a clip of her documentary Saving Jackie . She shared her original vision of a 5 minute film that would take a couple of weeks to make and how the process transformed her and became a 35 minute film that changed the course of her life. She traveled the country sharing her film with social workers, recovering addicts and foster parents, giving insight to the effects crack addiction have on a family and what it takes to rebuild a family damaged by addiction.

Feb 24th Film Connections:
Our sixth "Film Connections" meeting at ThinkTV went very nicely, thank you, with more than 60 people in attendance to hear presentations and view work from BarbaraO, Aileen Leblanc and Michael and Sandy Bashaw.
BarbaraO talked about her documentary film in progress, which explores African-American culture and faith and their African spiritual roots. Interesting stuff, and very interestingly shown.
Leblanc showed a piece of "Dayton Codebreakers" and the new film she is working on about the movement of Ethiopian Jews to Israel. The Bashaws, her musical collaborators, talked with her about how they all three put together the music and film into a cohesive whole.
It was a fun and good night of viewing, talking, sharing, networking and learning.
