A heartfelt thank you to Los Gatan reporter Drew Penner, who attended our first KCAT Summer Media Film Festival on Aug. 14! Drew, we are grateful for the front page picture of two of our leaders, Noah Hirsch and Owen Fugit, plus your feature article inside was terrific.
A big shout-out goes to Paul Gunsky and his entire team at the Los Gatos CineLux Theatre for supporting KCAT’s popular summer program by hosting this event. We packed the house and you all made the experience flawless. We love our partnership with the theater!
We are so proud of our stellar counselors/leaders who taught and mentored seven CITs and 202 of our next-gen filmmakers, directors, producers, podcasters, scriptwriters and influencers. This is the magic that KCAT gives to our community: paid job ops and resume builders for high school and college students pursuing their dreams; CIT training for middle schoolers; and an incredibly creative and inclusive summer media experience for ages 9-14.
Lastly, “Entering the Potatoverse” was voted as the best headline by all of us at KCAT.
Melissa Toren
Executive Director, KCAT
