Want to make a film? Feel you have a film inside you - a story to tell? The New York Public Library wants to help. Now you can create, stage and promote your own "You can't borrow honey from a zombie" story to be performed live in the library through the Lights Camera Read process. And at the end of the eight weeks of promoting your story to win the contest (and the Platinum Pias Award) you will have learned digital communication arts skills to achieve other goals including getting into college, acquiring a job or starting a business. So even if your story isn't picked to be dramatized and filmed in 2012 and even if you don't win the Pia, you still win because you've learned how to communicate and gain support. And these are the skills you need to succeed in today's world. Lights Camera Read - empowerment for success.
