Mark your calendars: August 15, 2025, we're officially launching the Shoot for Greatness Youth Photography and Filmmaking Program — right in the heart of Brentwood at the Brentwood Public Library.
This isn’t just another youth program. It’s a movement that combines the energy of youth sports, the creativity of visual storytelling, and the power of real-world experience behind the lens.
Why We're Launching This Program
Young creators in our community are bursting with talent. However, they often lack the tools, guidance, and platform to shine. That’s exactly what Shoot for Greatness is all about.
We’re giving middle and high school students access to essential resources, including:
Hands-on camera training (filmmaking + photography)
Editing & post-production workshops
On-site sports coverage opportunities
Team-based projects that simulate real production environments
Portfolio-building and leadership development
What’s Happening on Launch Day – August 15
On launch day, the Brentwood Library will transform into a creative media hub. Students and families can look forward to a series of exciting activities:
Meet the program mentors and instructors
Explore cameras and equipment
View student reels and sports highlight films
Join live creative demos and Q&A sessions
Learn how to register for fall sessions
Additionally, we’ll be premiering the official Shoot for Greatness trailer, produced and edited by our very own students.
Why It Matters
Too often, young creatives are overlooked in sports settings. They are delegated to the sidelines while athletes receive all the attention. We're flipping that narrative with this program. Students become the storytellers, documentarians, and visual journalists of their generation.
They're not just watching the game; they're capturing the legacy. This experience will empower them to express their unique perspectives and contribute to their community’s sporting culture.
Who Should Come
This event is for everyone! Whether you're a young athlete or a budding artist, we encourage you to join us.
Young athletes who want to learn how to film and edit game footage.
Creatives interested in photography, journalism, and visual design.
Parents seeking enriching, skill-building after-school programs.
Local businesses and sports teams interested in creative youth partnerships.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a filmmaker or simply wants to explore something new, Shoot for Greatness will offer them a chance to step into their purpose.
Be Part of the Story
Join us August 15, 2025, at 5 PM at the Brentwood Library to celebrate the launch of something truly transformative. This program aims to create opportunities for youth and highlight the importance of storytelling through visual media.
