Title: Not Much To Do, 1966.
Description: Film made by six 11 to 14 year old boys living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--Barry Griffen, James Lucas, Ronald Mapp, Luerell Mapp, Michael Watters, Howard White--who were taught to shoot, develop and edit film. In 1966, Robert D. Stoddard, a recent graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and assistant pastor at Tabernacle Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.), developed the Tabernacle Film Club for West Philadelphia children of junior high school age. Stoddard's initial notion was to have the children film adaptations of Bible stories. A professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communication, Sol Worth, advised Stoddard to let the children simply roam with the camera. Funding for the project was raised from the Board of Christian Education and from the Presbyterian Women's Thank Offering. An Annenberg student, Ben Achtenberg, served as director. "Not Much To Do" premiered at the Annenberg School on Monday, November 14, 1966.
