CreaTV

CreaTV is the award-winning, high quality, teen-produced TV show at CTV North Suburbs created by youth ages 13 to 18. Teens come to the station once a week during the school year to produce several four piece episodes that include everything from music videos to documentaries, narrative films, or PSA's about topics that are important to them.

There is an initial yearly application period beginning in the fall, but applications to the waiting list are accepted year-round. Contact Youth Programs Coordinator Alex Betzler, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more details.

Episode 2

Then and Now
For the second episode, the youth crew created four short films
that experiment with the idea of Then and Now, or past and present.
In this episode:
  • Evolution of the Gaming Community: A documentary that explores how the community around video games has changed over time.
  • The History of Phones: A PSA with a twist.
  • CHOICES: Teens explore how the choices they make in the past affect them every day.
  • Lemonade: A music video that contrasts music style in the past vs. the present for JC Stroebel’s original song “Lemonade”
