Do you want to be the next Hype Williams or Steven Spielberg? Are you the best drama king or queen out there? Is a story always floating around in your head? Is anime your favorite pastime?

If so, join the Youth Moviemaking Workshop (YMW) at UVI's Reichhold Center for the Arts. Self-motivated students who have demonstrated an aptitude in the fine arts (photography, music, dance, writing, drawing, painting, etc.) are strongly encouraged to apply.

YMW puts young people ages 13 to 17 in front of and behind the camera lenses. Students spend seven weeks between June and August using the latest media technology, exploring the ins and outs of filmmaking, and developing teamwork and discipline. YMW alumni have gone on to several colleges, as well as to work in the television industry.

YMW starts Monday, June 23. The deadline to apply is Friday, May 30. Applications are available at Reichhold Center's office at 693-1550 or, via e-mail, from ffenton@uvi.edu. For more information on the Youth Moviemaking Workshop visit Reichhold Center's website at www.reichholdcenter.com/dmi.html.
