Destiny Brown is a Baltimore native that attends the Baltimore School for the Arts for theater. When not acting on stage, she spends her time filming with Wide Angle Youth Media as a youth producer. Though she has received recogniton for her award-winning film titled “Save my School,” a piece focusing on a youth-led rally in efforts to prevent education budget cuts, Destiny is very new to the film world. Ages on Stages is her film that she directed and produced on her own.
I was inspired to create a film about Ages on Stages because, as you may see in the video, I was an improv member in the group. I saw how much joy we brought to these senior citizens every Wednesday, and I made it my task to document it somehow. I wanted to be able to show other people what made Ages on Stages so special. Though I had some film experience through my internship as a youth producer, I had never edited nor filmed on my own before. Nevertheless, with a budget of 0 dollars and a heart full of ambition, I checked out a camera and some audio equipment from my school and went to work. After spending hours watching Youtube tutorials on editing, I came up with the final video it is today. I hope you enjoy.
