Rehumaniz

I directed and edited a short documentary about the first Rehumaniz art outreach at UCF. I will most likely make a longer cut at some point, but here is the version I screened as part of the Spring 2009 Directing 1 class (sorry you can't view it here...the file is too large):


This outreach was born out of the Tribeca 2008 summer project. My friend, Bonnie, brought the concept of Rehumaniz in the form of an art outreach to Unveiled 2008, and a few of us took the vision home with us. It has continued at UCF, and we'd like to make it a monthly event. At some point, we'd also like to try it out downtown...I think that will be an endeavor for the summer months though, once classes and such have calmed down.

Rehumaniz started off as a name for this art outreach, but we've become a group of people, rather than an event. This semester the small group I co-lead is organizing an art benefit using the Rehumaniz name. We're working together to create something that will hopefully raise funds for the International Justice Mission. Check them out. They're a great organization working towards solving human rights issues around the globe. They do a lot to stop human trafficking and aid the survivors of this repulsive practice.
