Otessa realizes there is an unfulfilled demand for educational tools created for students growing up in the 21st Century digital age, and outdated information being taught in traditional film studies. Now a much-beloved and highly-lauded show, Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden (OJBG), has been used in film and media courses in schools across the U.K. as a case study of filmmaking in the new media and digital age. Her new textbook, The Wild West of Film, will also be used a guide for a film program run by Global Kids, a non-profit educational organization for global learning and youth development.
As a true new media advocate, the book is available in print and as an ebook download.
