Thirteen young residents of Camfield Estates – a 102-unit South End apartment community managed by full-service real estate firm Peabody Properties – recently had the exciting opportunity to participate in a unique videography program.
Camfield Estates teamed up with WeCast Productions – an internet video production company – to launch The Forever Ink Project. With the help of the WeCast Productions staff, the South End residents spent two nights per week writing, producing, shooting and editing three exclusive videos. Through this eighteen week partnership with WeCast Productions, the teens learned about the many steps involved in making a video – from writing a script to perfecting their acting techniques to running the cameras.

Fifteen-year-old Seyquan Mack added that The Forever Ink Project provided a convenient opportunity to partner with his neighbors. “I like how we collaborate with each other and we all have different personalities,” said Mack. “We’re getting to know each other better.”
