Mark Vonesch
Mark facilitates mobile stop motion animation and video making programs that produce messages young people most want to share with their community and world. These messages are shared in community screenings, over the internet, and select films are showcased as part of The Touring Reel Youth Film Festival.
Youth participants are provided a fun and encouraging space to:
-
learn from each other's perspectives and experiences,
-
gain technical understanding of equipment, and
- produce media messages that provoke civic engagement and community development.
The process is intended to provide young people with a meaningful way to engage their communities and the world. All of the films made in the workshps are distributed on YouTube and submitted to the touring Reel Youth Film Festival.
Mark's diverse background also includes an honors degree in Business from the University of Alberta, and a place in the Treeplanting Hall of Fame. He is on the Board of Directors for Power of Hope and is committed to using the arts to make a difference in the lives of young people and the communities they live in.
