“Children are often adorable in front of the camera, but put them behind it, and they can produce fascinating work. This exhibition displays photography, animation and documentary video by students in elementary, middle and high schools in all five boroughs of New York … during residency programs sponsored by Magic Box Productions.”

– Laurel Graeber, The New York Times

“The Scholars' Academy adores Magic Box Productions. Since our school's inception, Magic Box and Nelle Stokes have been our essential visual arts partner. Through the power of the video camera, laptop computer, and creative genius Magic Box has opened up new worlds of study, exploration, and inquiry for our students. Magic Box has taken our students on an introspective and circumspective journey of creativity. Bravo to Magic Box, Champion of the Visual Arts!!!!”

– Brian O'Connell, Principal, The Scholars’ Academy
