In June 2000 Joe Hall founded The Ghetto Film School (GFS) to connect talented young people to artistic, educational and career opportunities in the world of film and video. Since that time, more than 400 students have participated in GFS programs and workshops, coming from all areas of New York City to our South Bronx training facilities for hands-on production and cinema studies courses.
GFS student work has been featured at dozens of film and video festivals around the globe, as well as E!, ABC News Now, Independent Film Channel, CNN and the BBC's Talking Movies.
