Duke Ellington School of the Arts Cinematic Arts & Media Production Department is a unique program that builds proficiency in the integrated skills necessary for success in writing, creating, producing, and directing creative work across an increasingly broad array of platforms. With writing, storytelling, and concept development at its core, the program develops a foundation in the theory and practice of crafting fiction, non-fiction, and documentary narratives.
Student-artists explore spoken performance, documentary journalism, photography, television, film, and digital media and learn through a progressive process of lecture, discussion, critical analysis, master classes, and hands-on project-based learning. By Grade 12, student-artists will have the skills to produce self-driven projects for public distribution and knowledge of the legal, financial and entrepreneurial aspects of producing creative work.
Duality takes viewers on an emotional journey through high schoolers’ experiences as they navigate the complexities of self-discovery while managing the demands of academics, friendships, and future aspirations.
