P.L.A.C.E. Video Project
Afterschool on Tuesdays for 12 weeks a group of International Academy students from the Movie Making class will spend time with professional film maker Nicki Chavoya of P.L.A.C.E. to learn about the production process and make a movie of their own!

This program is sponsored by the International Association of New Haven (IANH).
