Girls Rock! Chicago
A good friend of mine has really done something that she is truly passionate about and did so on her own budget. Sarah Moshman, a native of Evanston, IL, spent a week in Chicago last summer when she had some time off from her hectic Los Angeles life, where she is an associated producer for shows like “Minute to Win It” and “Dancing With The Stars,” to film a short documentary on Chicago’s very own school of rock.
Girls Rock! Chicago is a two-week long camp that is directed at young girls 8-16 and it uses music to help empower and build self-esteem by teaching the girls to play instruments, form their own bands, write their own songs and perform them in front of a large audience. Moshman learned about this amazing camp from a friend and formed an all-female team to shoot a short 24-minute documentary that will air on PBS in Chicago on July 25 at 6:30 p.m. and again on August 1 at 11:30 a.m..
Girls Rock! Chicago follows three bands as they embark on this week long experience that culminates in a final performance at the Metro in Chicago. “This project is my baby,” Moshman said. “From conception to the final edit, I made all of the creative decisions associated with it and I learned so much. I am proud to put my name on it and I just want people to see it so they can know how amazing this camp is for young women. Because girls really do rock!”
This project is just one addition to a career that has already experienced so much success. Moshman made a short film at the University of Miami, where she studied Video-Film, titled “31 and Counting” that won her an award at a women’s festival as well as short documentary in high school that earned her an award from CSPAN.
