'Dude's Eye View': Boys' Voices Expressed In Short Films

EAST HAMPTON, NY — Boys' voices will be heard, their feelings and concerns shared, at a presentation of short films, "Dude's Eye View", at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

The event will take place on Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m.

East Hampton High School boys participated in the pilot program, meeting once a week for seven weeks to "make a space to explore ideas and conversation that the boys translated into visual images for video," Kate Mueth of the Neo-Political Cowgirls said.

The event is presented by the Neo-Political Cowgirls in partnership with The Hamptons International Film Festival and with support from East Hampton High School's video production teacher Jeremy Quitko. Dude's Eye View was created by NPC especially for East Hampton High School boys, Mueth said.

Thee projects to be screened are focused on process, not product, and are meant to express a moment in time from their viewpoint, she said.

"Our sons need support and experience in communicating their feelings and viewpoints now more than ever. Dude's Eye View aims to give them a place to do so, a tool of creativity for an outlet, and the courage to speak their truths," Mueth said.

The event is free no reservations are required, and a Q&A session will take place afterward led by Sawyer Spielberg, son of Steven Spielberg.
