As part of our efforts to give youth a voice through the media arts, Lights Camera Discover offers an on-going program to train local youth in digital storytelling and animation productions. Lights Camera Discover is an award winning year-round program in which students learn filmmaking and animation basics alongside anti-bullying and social awareness. During our sessions, students get to create projects of their own. As their talents and awareness develops, they create group projects and public service announcements to combat anti-bullying.

Thank you LCD. I am still doing media today. LCD helped me figure out what I wanted to do in life. I am about to be a senior in high school and actually planning on going into the military for communications as an audio tech and editing thank you all so much.
“Out of all the great things LCD has done for me, the thing I might be most thankful for is teaching me this lesson: filmmaking takes a LOT of hard work. You think you're a perfect director and you've got everything prepared and everything's going to be fine? Well, wait until that cloud messes up the lighting in your shot. Wait until a tech issue prevents you from filming a certain scene. Wait until you're filming outside in the hot summer sun. Wait until an actor complains about doing a shot multiple times.”
