Original short films, documentaries, and music videos produced by Chicago youth from concept through postproduction.
Since 2012, TechKno Academy participants have written, directed, shot, and edited their own original films and music videos, tackling some of the most pressing issues facing their communities.
Each project is student-driven: the teens choose the themes, develop the stories, and see them through to a finished screen-ready production. What you'll find below is their work, in their own voices.
Video Projects for the 2022 - 2023 School Years: See the Film Sound Design page.
