CLARK JOHNSON WORKING ON FILM WITH NY KIDS: 'Misunderstood,' about youth and masculinity, was written by nine high school students.
*Actor-director Clark Johnson ("The Wire," "The Sentinel") is teaming with nine New York youngsters to film a short about youth and masculinity.
The film, "Misunderstood," was written by teens attending the High School of Graphic Communication Arts in Manhattan and was the winner of Scenarios USA's "What's the Real Deal About Masculinity?" scriptwriting contest.
Johnson will work with a crew of film pros to shoot on location in New York, reports Variety. After completion, Johnson and the nine participants will edit the work together.
The film is scheduled for a winter premiere alongside projects from writers and directors of winning scripts filming in Cleveland, Ohio and Texas. The films will be distributed to high schools and community groups nationwide, streamed on the Internet and shown on TV.
"Misunderstood" is produced by Scenarios USA, a non-profit that uses filmmaking to foster youth leadership, advocacy and self-expression in under-served teens.
