Authoring Action Program Applications
JustUs Program
Fall/Winter Session
October 2020 - January 2021
Just Us is our filmmaking program for authors brought to us through court referrals, WSFCS, DSS, and community agencies, either as a preventative measure or as mandated participation. Authoring Action is an official agency of the Forsyth County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council.
At the end of each session, films are screened at a/perture cinema in downtown Winston-Salem, NC at an event attended by community and family members, as well as personnel from the court.
