The Ripple Effect: Next Generation Storytellers

Event Overview:Join us for the premiere of The Ripple Effect: Next Generation Storytellers, a powerful documentary highlighting the transformation of Carver-Edisto Middle School and Edisto High School through the creation of student-led broadcast studios. This collaborative effort between Ripple Digital Solutions, LLC, Orangeburg County School District, and Ledwell Visuals has equipped students with the tools, training, and inspiration to lead in the world of modern media.

Why This Event Matters:This is more than a film premiere—it’s a celebration of youth empowerment, innovation in rural education, and the power of storytelling. Through state-of-the-art equipment, industry-aligned training, and hands-on experience, students are gaining the skills and confidence to become tomorrow’s broadcasters, journalists, and creators.
