Dominican Students Conclude Classes at NYU
Santo Domingo, September 9, 2009
 On
August 13, six Dominican students awarded scholarships from the Global
Multimedia Arts Institute (GMAI), New York University's Opportunity Program
and the One Race Film Foundation partook in the graduation ceremony to
celebrate the completion of the six-week course, during which student
productions were screened.
During the course, students were exposed to all aspects of the creation
process, from preproduction to postproduction, developing competency in the
areas of script and story board development, camera usage, the use of sound
and light, directing and acting. Students also learned to edit their own
work using Final Cut Pro.
Students completed three projects throughout the semester, focusing on:
sequence, dramatization and short film production. In total, students
produced 18 different projects.
 This
year’s scholarship recipients were: Crisermy Mercado (UNIBE), Johanna
Jiménez, (Madre y Maestra Pontifical Catholic University), Carlos Peralta
(Madre y Maestra Pontifical Catholic University), Ramon Peña (National
School of Arts and Trades), Luvil Gonzalez (INTEC) and Cristina Zapata (Colegio
San Judas Tadeo).
Each year, GMAI along with New York University's Opportunity Program and the
One Race Film Foundation offer scholarships to Dominican students between
the ages of 18 and 20 to study various aspects of film and television.
Students are selected on the basis of academic achievement and professional
interests.
 GMAI,
an initiative of Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and
Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), is dedicated to
providing up-and-coming professionals in the television and film industry
with comprehensive instruction in the latest trends in audiovisual
production, as part of its overall mission to expand the multimedia industry
of the Dominican Republic. The Institute seeks to play a key role in the
development of a highly qualified Dominican audiovisual industry that
significantly contributes to the economic development, competitiveness and
modernization of the nation.
