Sage Adams has used his passion for film to benefit the community. While attending Georgia State University, Sage began volunteering at the George Washington Carver Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. Sage studied film at Georgia State and began to use his background in the field to develop a program called Media Makers, which is designed to introduce club members to the art of film making, audio production, recording and photography.
He pays weekly visits to the Whitefoord Computer Clubhouse to offer additional opportunities to learn the skills associated with videography and art production. His recent projects include a documentary that looked at the club members’ experiences with the George Washington Carver Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta and also helped complete a short film. The experience learned from Adams has given club members valuable experience that has opened up opportunities in television, audio engineering and writing careers.
