Our Mission
Investing in our youth.
Our mission is to serve student filmmakers, photographers and content creators around the world providing resources to pursue a meaningful career path focused on individual artistic goals, offering immersive educational experiences, connecting the artists of the future with engaging developmental opportunities, and providing a collaborative and productive artistic community to assist in the development of ALL students’ artistic abilities and experiences.
Each year, in the heart of New York City, we present the world's largest high school film festival, photography exhibition and awards show. We offer a grand stage for the next generation of talented artists where they can: screen their amazing creations, learn from top industry professionals, connect with the latest technology, explore myriad higher education opportunities, receive scholarships and technology prizes, and perhaps most importantly, create a community of shared passions and lifelong relationships. We believe in the voices of our youth. We invest in the stories they have to tell. We empower young artists to share their stories and transform their world through digital media.
