“As we look to develop the next generation of filmmakers, ReadingFilm seeks to encourage talented students and media arts enthusiasts to share their stories and explore the art of filmmaking.  I was so inspired by Ms. Adams-Ginyard’s career, but also her belief that we should all strive to create a positive impact on the world around us. It is an important message for youth, and true at any age. It is an honor to have Ms. Adams-Ginyard visit our community and share her story.” said Cammie Harris, Executive Director.

The public is invited to attend ReadingFilm’s 5th Annual Five Minute FilmFEST Awards Ceremony Thursday, April 27, 6pm where Ms. Adams-Ginyard will be presenting awards to student winners and participate in a student-led Q&A.

“I am very excited and really looking forward to speaking to the youth in Reading. It is my purpose and passion to inspire, encourage, and motivate. The students will be impacted by my story of persistence, resilience, and determination to never give up. I want them to leave there knowing that they are all destined for greatness and have the ability to achieve every one of their dreams, goals, and aspirations,” said Janeshia Adams-Ginyard.

This presentation is made possible with support from Berks Community Action Program, Centro Hispano, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Doubletree by Hilton and Reading School District.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
