Battlefords youth show their talents in new film
Students in the Battlefords taking part in the B.E.A.T.S. program had a hands-on experience in film-making recently that will be showcased in a special premiere this week.
The production is called B.E.A.T.S. Encounter.
About 20 students, mainly in Grade 9, participated in this session of the B.E.A.T.S. program, which stands for Building Expression and Awareness through Theatre and Sound, and is aimed at at-risk youth.
“We’re trying to find another way to engage youth – and to reinvigorate them with a sense of career and community,” Prairie North Health Region social worker Alan Corbeil, who facilitates the program, said.
