DROP TV is a magazine-style series of half hour episodes packed with high energy segments made for youth, by youth. Get ready because this isn't your grandparent's TV show, this is DROP TV - our media, our way.
Want to work on DROP-TV? Check out our DROP-TV Summer Media Lab or contact us to see how else you might get involved.
CMP's youth producers, on all levels of Media Guild, contribute to the creation of DROP TV. During the summer months and after school, Media Guild apprentices, under professional and peer mentorship, engage in all aspects of pre-productions, production, and post-productions for DROP TV: research, writing, scheduling, camera, sound, lighting, computer graphic design, computer animation, editing, music, and sound mixing.
DROP TV highlights short youth-produced videos made by DROP TV producers as well as work from other young videomakers from around the world. Children's Media Project, through curation of The Hamptons International Film Festival's Youth Media Program, receives hundreds of videos made by youth every year. From these submissions we choose the best short works to share with DROP TV audiences.
This season we are highlighting the work of youth animators from the School For Animated Film in Cakovec Croatia. We are also highlighting the work of youth producers in the Documentary Project for Refugee Youth, a program of Global Action Project. Throughout the season we will show segments of their collective work entitled Picture a Story as well as their final film, Moving On. We also have a special Food Episode (Episode 9) and Hamptons International Film Festival Episode (Episode 10).
