Director: Gabriel Perez Chicago’s diversity is its strength and is due to its attractiveness for many immigrants. Yet it struggles to make its neighborhood communities integrated, not segregated.
Director: Maura Mena This project focuses on the Denver poetry scene; its poets and especially the poetry slams.
Director: Derell Bonner An examination of how one youth decides to take action to better his school system. • Katrina Director:John Welkins A story of Hurricane Katrina evacuee’s who live in San Antonio, Texas.
Director: Tania Cervantes This piece is about immigrants in the U.S., why they are on Cesar Chavez Street, their struggles and the reason why they’re here.
Director: Casandra Castaneda This video is about my neighborhood and events that have occurred in my life that I wanted to share with everyone. Usually people think that the south side is a bad place to be and I am showing them that the south side can be fun to live and doesn’t always fit the stereotypical analogies most people like to make.
Director: Spring Woods High School This was a very important and irreplaceable experience for TigerTV. The Buffalo Soldiers Museum is a part of American history and is part of the numerous historical sites in Houston. We hope our video helps bridge the gap between the young and seniors of our city. We thank Captain Matthews for his dedication to the preservation of this Houston landmark
Director: JD Gonzales A small tire and kerosene station is a home for “the juggalos” what is known as “outcasts of society.” Unknown too many people, the juggalos are a community or family who follow the same guidelines when it comes to everything in an everyday life, such as music. Primos, the station that supports juggalos are given a chance to express themselves to the camera and why they are important to the Denver community. Chicago Director: Edward Robles A young man (I) takes the “L” train downtown with a series of voiceovers talking about what Chicago means to them. It ends with the same young man at Millennium park with his own voiceover.
Director: Arianna Taboada & Rico Chenyek This documentary tries to breakaway from mainstream media’s stereotypes of East Oakland as a war zone and shows the experience of its residents. We focus on the immigrant experience in largely Latino populated Fruitvale district.
Director: Jonathon Munoz Our video represents Chicano park and its amazing murals, plus the rise of a hardworking culture.
Director: Consuelo The focus of the documentary is the homeless of San Antonito and also the stereotypes that people give to the homeless. We interview a man named Seth Camm, an activist who draws portraits of homeless people and provides food for them. Our hope is that this documentary will motivate people to do the same or learn to rid themselves of the stereotypes they give to the homeless
Director: Leann Tellez This documentary is about a local artist, Jesse Trevino who created the “veladora” in the West Side area of San Antonio, Texas to try to give hope to the community. |
