Wide Angle Youth Media is one of the most progressive and successful youth programs in Baltimore City. The brainchild of executive director Gin Ferarra, who founded the organization in 2000, Wide Angle reaches out to the young people of Baltimore offering real life experience working with digital media. Members get professional training in video and sound recording, editing, and much more.
