Ravalli County, Montana health video to be filmed by MAPS Media Institute -Students competing for prizes on YouTube. Please VOTE for your favorite!

The Ravalli County Public Health Department has tapped the MAPS Media Institute http://mediarts.org for a campaign to raise local consciousness around attitudes toward issues of public health.

Peter Rosten, the former movie producer and founder of MAPS, said the end goal is to focus on the most pressing concerns in public health, as well as help raise awareness of what goes on in the department, who the public health officials in Ravalli County are, and what they offer the community.

"We plan to put a human face on the Ravalli Public Health Department," Rosten said. "These are real people, people you see at Safeway and at church. It’s not some big government bureaucracy kind of thing. No these are your friends and neighbors."

The Ravalli County Public Health contract – MAPS will earn $30,000 for a pair of projects – is an example of the end goal for a group that, since 2004, has sought to teach high school students to write, shoot and produce fiction movies, documentaries and commercials, then pay them for professional work they do.
