Interviews

Akins Documentary--

Secondary- Katherine Obando, Ashley Figueroa--

How has beginning this project changed your perspective on the school?
“I came into the project thinking greatly of Akins and still believe it is.”

What has been your biggest reasoning for taking a part of filming this documentary?
“ Whenever I get asked what school I attend, I get the same negative response from outsiders. They believe Akins is a “bad school” and I want to show them wrong.”
“ I want to change the negative perspective to positive.”

Is the film angled at an educational or entertainment view?
“Both. Educational because it is informing the student body. It highlights what is already at Akins. Entertainment because it is through a students point of view. Visual interpretation rather than text.”

Overall message?
“We are Akins…the real Akins.”
