facilitates experiential media workshops for young people, particularly girls. Workshops are designed to address media literacy and activism and can include a hands-on video production unit.

one-time workshops or we can create a series of workshops to fit the needs of your community.

We design the workshops to include a screening of Tricia Creason-Valencia’s short film, We Got Next, a narrative about teenage girl basketball players. The film serves as the starting point for an interactive workshop that addresses issues such as: girls in sports, competition, friendship, ambition, class, race, and images of girls in the media.


Tricia has taught filmmaking and media literacy to pre-teens and teenagers through U. C. Berkeley Extension and PACT Family Camp for Adoptive Families. She has also taught narrative and documentary filmmaking at Drexel University and San Francisco State University.

Tricia is an experienced public speaker who addresses challenges and rewards of being a woman filmmaker.
