Intersections Media new mascot

23 Dec

This sock monkey’s creation was filmed from beginning to end by students at Intersections Media- a non-profit skills development program that works with at-risk youth and provides both workshop and project-based training for film, video and arts production.  Intersections is dedicated to developing and managing audio-visual and arts projects that have broad-based community benefits.

Once the short film is completed, Kat will debut it on Sock Monkey Monthly!

After much discussion, the sock monkey was named "Taylor" and he/she will reside at Intersections Media headquarters. Taylor's hat is handknit (Japanese silk/wool)!

One more!
