Interviews & Filming for Parkside Community School Video
Save The Date!
Sunday, December 5, 2010
In commemoration of Parkside’s upcoming 20th anniversary, we are producing a short video about the school. The video will feature interviews with Joe and Claire, and also with some of you who would like to share your stories and anecdotes about the impact your time at Parkside has had on your child, yourself, your family, etc.
In addition to interviews, the short film will also include footage of some of the incredible things that happen at our school like Simple Gifts, the Cultural Challenge, and the biannual camping trip.
With all of your help, we are hoping this video will serve to take Parkside into the next 20 years.
The video will be used for several purposes. For starters, it will debut at the incredible fundraising event on February 12 at Austin Music Hall featuring a concert by Alejandro Escovedo. Secondly, it will live on the Parkside website where it will be viewed by families interested in learning about the school. And finally, it will be an important tool helping educate the local media about the role Parkside has played (and will continue to play) in Austin’s incredible and diverse community of families.
Deb Lewis, an acclaimed Austin filmmaker and former Parkside Mom will film the interviews at Parkside on Sunday, December 5.
We invite anyone who would like to participate in this very important film to join us.
Please send an email Lisa Rice if you would like to be included, and I will write back to schedule a specific time slot. The interviews will be held at Parkside Community School.
