In collaboration with Out Youth and the Austin School of Film, aGLIFF hosts the Queer Youth Media Project (QYMP), which offers you not only the entire movie making process, but also introduces students to theater, acting, casting calls, how to enter films into festivals, market their films and find distribution as well as screening at both our festival and SXSW.
We want to empower you with a platform for self expression as well as a highly instructive curriculum that teaches you the entirety of the filmmaking process. Your creativity and execution have the unique opportunity to be showcased at not only our Film Festival in the fall, but also at SXSW, due to our new partnership with the Austin School of Film!
THE QUEER YOUTH MEDIA PROJECT Offers Leadership Skills, Encourages Artistic Expression, Offers Involvement in Real World Issues, Facilitates Relationships Between Youth and the Community, Develops Community and Civic Skills, and Engages Youth from Different Cultures and Backgrounds.
HOW IT WORKS
Over the course of a two week summer program (July 18-29, 9am to 1pm), our students will immerse themselves, along with our instructors, into the craft of filmmaking!
You have creative control of depicting the current state of life for queer and ally youth while learning technical skills to communicate your stories.
Tell your story through film, make new connections, and be a part of defining your future!
The program is entirely scholarship based. Apply today by sending us an email with your contact info to: info@aGLIFF.org
