A.S.P.I.R.E and The 48 Hour Film Project

A.S.P.I.R.E is an acronym for "After School Program Inspiring Rewarding Enrichment." This is a program sponsored by the PTA that runs in 6 week sessions. It's for kids in grades 3-5, and runs for an hour or so after school. Emily is taking part in the upcoming session and will be either doing Arts And Crafts or Knitting. The cost is only $10.00 per kid which is very reasonable if you ask me. She is very excited about this.

Something else that she is taking part in through the Burtwood School Of Performing Arts is called The 48 Hour Film Project. Teams have 48 hours to create a short film. If they finish on time, the film will be shown at the Kendall Square Cinema in Cambridge and the Herring Run Arts Festival in Middleboro. If they win, it would be eligible for the national competition. Actors won't know what part they will play until they arrive to make the film. The cost for this is $20, and includes a DVD of the finished film.

I think she is most excited about the movie. It sounds pretty cool to me too!
