Bronx Students Learn Filmmaking, Tribeca Style - New York Times

I'm happy for the kids, really I am. Tribeca filmmakers reaching out to inner city kids is a good thing. However, I can't help but think there was an opportunity missed here. It just seems like the article is being kind - like the film wasn't that good.

People assume that teaching media is easy. That all you have to do is show up with a camera and the kids will get it and create great work. But then, I guess people assume filmmaking is easy too.
