EORO board Member Rose arranged for 10 youth to visit Kerner Studios in the East Bay as part of the YGCIC SYEP program week focusing on Digital Media and Entertainment. The week has included highlights on the music industry showcasing the hip hop and R&B world, acting and playwriting, social media and employment, and a field trip to Kerner Studios. The Kerner Group is a collection of creative and innovative companies providing services and technology to the entertainment industry, government agencies, private sector companies and government contractors. EORO Program Staff, youth participants, and YGCIC staff participated in a guided tour where they learned about the entertainment industry. On a behind the scenes tour, youth were guided through the film making process looking at the entertainment industry, technology, and innovation that goes into making a movie. After the studio tour, students and program staff had the opportunity to talk about working in the industry and what it takes to make it big! The next students worked with EORO playwriting staff to see the other side of the industry: the actors. Who knows, maybe some new talent will emerge from SYEP and find their way to becoming a Hollywood success story!
