"The impact of the experience on both my students and myself was profound. BexarFest exemplifies the power of storytelling to make a difference, allowing young creators to use their talents to amplify the work of nonprofits, all while building practical skills and confidence.
TRL Productions' dedication to fostering partnerships between high school media production students and nonprofit organizations is a model I deeply admire. The organization not only provides students with real-world experience but also enhances the outreach capabilities of nonprofits in San Antonio and beyond. This dual benefit exemplifies the transformative potential of media education..."
