On Saturday, May 15th our organization was fortunate enough to have a panel of incredibly talented producers talk to our students and staff about their career in the Entertainment Industry. We were joined by Judy Cairo, who is most known for her production of Hysteria and Stuck in Love, just to name a few. As well as, Gretchen Enders a Producer and WGA Award-winning writer, and Derek Kolstad is the writer/creator of the JOHN WICK franchise. <div><br /></div><div>Our students were joined by our panelists through a Zoom workshop where they discussed their career, asked questions and learned some helpful tips that will last them well into their entertainment careers.</div><div><br /></div><div>One student, Isabella Ferrucci says, “the best part about the workshop is hearing from the amazing speakers … It’s a source of inspiration for me.” The Zoom Workshops are welcome to all young teens. Whether you want to have a career in the entertainment industry or are just thinking about it, The Dr. BSH Foundation wants all kids to learn about different career paths. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another student who joined us for our workshop said, “The Barbara Senior Harkins Foundation has helped me immensely on my exploration and planning for future careers,” said Melody Borja Khalaf. Melody talked to us about how her plan all along was to have a career in animation, but it wasn’t until she went through this program and joined some workshops that she found a new passion for storyboarding and plans to pursue this as a career. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another successful workshop at The Dr. BSH Foundation for us means we are connecting our students with successful industry workers and expanding their mind to different career opportunities. Being accompanied by Judy Cairo, Gretchen Enders and Derek Kolstad was a tremendous honor for our organization and we look forward to hosting them again along with many others! </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you to our wonderful students and staff that joined us for our film workshop. We enjoy seeing our students getting a better understanding of the industry as well as getting to interact with one another as best as we can during this time. </div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b>We must invest in our children

Dr. Harkins believed in equal opportunity and education for all students.

We thought, there is no better way to build off of what most of our students have spent their time doing during quarantine, than to introduce them to those filmmakers themselves. The Dr. BSH Foundation, held a virtual filmmaking workshop on April 17th and heard from experts that work as Directors of Photography and Cinematographers of film, television and commercials. </div><div><br /></div><div>This past Saturday our students were able to have lunch, hangout and ask questions with our panelists over Zoom. We believe in maintaining safety and following protocols when it comes to our workshops, so our Zoom breakout rooms give the students the opportunity to make the workshop more personal! The panelists spent the day talking about how they got started in their career, upcoming projects and the creative challenges they have faced during the pandemic. </div><div><br /></div><div>Like many, our panelists expressed their hardships of finding ways to be creative and still create films or documentaries during the pandemic. With restrictions and social distancing it became hard to be out in the field filming and doing what you love. One panelist gave tips to our student’s on how he kept creativity alive while being safe and following Covid protocols. </div><div><br /></div><div>Whether it was discussing the challenges that the pandemic brought or how to persevere through the challenges a career in the arts can bring. The students and our staff did keep it fun and lighthearted! The Dr. BSH Foundation strives to go above and beyond for our students, but all are welcome to join our virtual workshops and get the opportunity to meet experts in the arts. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you again to our panelists and staff members for making this event such a success. To our students, thank you and we look forward to seeing you again at our next workshop! For more information please email us at Programs@barbaraseniorsharkingfoundation.org

Here at the Dr. BSH Foundation strives to educate and motivate our students to pursue a level of higher education after high school. Our foundation goes beyond the traditional classroom learning. Educating our young teens through experiences, even during the time of Covid-19 is what is most important to us. That is why we brought our annual filmmaking workshop virtual. On Saturday, March 20 our organization welcomed industry professionals from the entertainment community to speak with young individuals with a passion for casting! <div><br /></div><div>We were joined by experts in television writing, producing, directing and film editing. The virtual workshop allowed for our students and young teens to be broken up into various breakout rooms on Zoom to have smaller group discussions with our industry experts. </div><div><br /></div><div>In the various rooms our panelists discussed how they began their careers, what they’ve accomplished and tips for the students to work on in the upcoming years so they too can be successful in the entertainment industry. </div><div><br /></div><div>The afternoon was filled with helpful tips and tricks for our students but it wasn’t all serious! Our guest speakers talked TikToK with our teens and how different social media apps can be helpful when it comes to casting or getting practice with directing and film editing. </div><div><br /></div><div>We had yet another successful Filmmaking Workshop and from everyone at Dr. BSH Foundation we want to thank our students and panelists for joining us!

The aim of the film workshop was to enable young filmmakers to learn more about Film and Television directing. Young and prospective filmmakers from around the world had the chance to take part in the discussion and they also had the opportunity to learn more about their passion from respected professionals from this branch. This film workshop was virtual and it was held through the conference service Zoom.
We had the honor to learn from the knowledge and the experience from well – known icons in the film industry.

Dr. Barbara Seniors Harkins Foundation managed to find a way to bring some joy in children’s lives during these hard times. Our workshops provide a fun way for children and teens to learn something new in a way which is fun and entertaining for them.
Our recent events were workshops devoted to the seventh art and that is the film. The participants in this event were able to attend the film screening of “Caroline”which was held on 20th of February, 2021. The participants were members of the Foundation Organization’s Youth aged 11 to 17. There was a huge interest for the workshop. Over 50 kids had the opportunity to attend the special screening of the film Caroline. The workshop was held online through Zoom.
Special thanks to the moderator of the event Eric Guzman. A special presentation before the film screening was given from the film’s Voice-Over Casting Directors, Mr. & Mrs. Kalmenson of Kalmenson & Kalmenson, Casting. After the film screening, the participants in this workshop could enjoy the appearance of Mrs. Katy Moore-Kozachik - Set Dresser and Ms. Kristen Millette – Compositor. To a surprise for the audience, there was a special video message from the respected Mr. Tony Candelaria, who was a Model Maker on the film about his role in the film. At the end, each of the kids were able to win a gift card for Starbucks and GameStop.
Our workshop was successful and we are delighted that as an organization we managed to put a smile on the kid’s faces and to promote the film as an art. For more info about our workshops, events, programs and camps visit our website www.barbaraseniorsharkinsfoundation.org
