Thank you Courtney Egan for teaching video editing to the kids!!!!!!!!!

Courtney has been working with the Gert Town group for many many months, teaching basic video techniques and video editing.

Courtney Egan is an experimental media artist. She manipulates video as if it were a traditional collage element, cutting, pasting, and animating video clips. The great thing about Courtney is how she passes on her talent to an even younger generation with her work as instructor in the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts' media arts program. Additionally, she was the first teacher of the award-winning New Orleans Video Access Center's Teen Video Workshop, with participants' work screening at 32 film festivals, including Sundance, and one student even earning an Oscar nomination in the student division.

Thank you to Patricia Sills and Xavier University Art Village for use of the digital lab where Lakenya and Kenneth edited their video portraits.
