Synopsis
Inside the Digital Moving Image Salon takes us on the journey of one of the first African American women filmmakers and animators of our time, Ayoka Chenzira, as she creates an outlet for a new generation of young women to recognize the importance of documenting their story using new media technologies. The DMIS program is the first of its kind and is located at the prestigious Spelman College, a historically Black College for women. Pioneer Ayoka Chenzira continues to push the envelope with her current work now being one of the first to combine the touch screen technology with storytelling. Throughout the film testimonials are shared from students, industry professionals and profound actor/activist Ruby Dee.
