curriculum
Short form digital content, taught by professional storyboard artist, Vincent Lee, as well as a link to the narrative podcast was distributed to middle school students across the state of Montana in February 2022.
Students selected a story from the podcast to correspond with their storyboard artwork. The curriculum’s focus was multifaceted, covering the basic concepts of storyboarding, elements of narrative structure, an introduction to various endangered species as well as encouraging students’ personal expression.
artist selection process
Artists submitted their work to the IWFF for review and a celebrity jury selected three winners and awarded cash prizes to the young artists.
the exhibit
In conjunction with the opening of the 45th International Wildlife Film Festival, an interactive art exhibit featuring the students' art work celebrated the art of filmmaking as well as each of the "nearly forgotten" species in the podcast. Hands-on experiences as well as QR codes with links to the narrative podcast helped create a one of a kind museum experience celebrating conservation and storytelling.
