Media That Matters: On the Road Again with a Southern Tour!
This month, Media That Matters takes to the open road again with a southern tour, commencing Saturday, November 20!
The tour will take Director Jolene Pinder through the Southeast, screening MTM films in high school classrooms from South Florida to New Orleans.
We kicked off the tour at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa, Florida. Media That Matters teamed up with MOSI for a special two-hour screening for the museum’s YES! Team (Youth Enriched by Science) and a screening for the general public during the Elementary Science Olympics. The program is a career and educational enrichment program designed to help at-risk youth, between the ages of 13 and 17, develop and progress in a supportive peer-group environment while motivating them to pursue science both as a career and as an essential element of their total education.
From there, Media That Matters will travel to high schools and local theatres in West Palm Beach, Tallahassee, New Orleans, Birmingham and Houston. Last stop: a screening at the Aurora Picture Show in Houston, Texas, on Friday, December 3rd. Shades of the Border filmmaker Patrick Smith and MTM Director Jolene Pinder will be in attendance.
