Angela Pinaglia on The Power of Art and Documentary Filmmaking for Teens at Docs In Progress
In this episode, we discuss the power of art. Angela Pinaglia, a cinematographer, educator, and producer shares how she uses documentary-film storytelling to help teens transform the way they view their world.
Angela serves as the Artistic Director at Docs In Progress, a non-profit organization that educates, inspires and transforms the way people view their world through documentary film by providing individuals the tools to tell stories.
Every spring and summer, Docs In Progress offers documentary filmmaking workshops which give youth participants the tools to express themselves through video in a fun and educational small group environment. Teens (ages 13-17) from across the U.S. are encouraged to participate.
Throughout this episode, we discuss many ways in which documentary filmmaking develops a teenager’s high-level critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and even leadership skills.
We also delve into Angela’s rich story as a Baltimore-based Dominican-American filmmaker from Miami, Florida.
