Reel Stories Screening

August 2008
The Tower Theater

Reel Stories, Sundance Institute’s Youth Documentary Workshop at Spy Hop Productions, is an intensive program that gives Utah high school students the opportunity to work with some of the country’s best documentary filmmakers. Each participant comes out of the program having created a documentary short on the subject of their choosing. Past pieces have explored issues such a male body image, mental illness, the meaning of femininity, and the process of coming of age in different cultures. All the Reel Stories shorts are screened free to the community upon completion. The screening provides a wonderful opportunity to see the talent and creativity alive in our local youth community.

*Spy Hop’s Youth Documentary Arts Program is funded by an Anonymous Foundation; Zoo, Arts & Parks of Salt Lake County; the National Endowment for the Arts; Salt Lake County Substance Abuse Prevention Services; George and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation; and UBS.
