aGLIFF & Austin School of Film present:

QUEER YOUTH MEDIA PROJECT

In collaboration with the Austin School of Film, the All Genders, Lifestyles and Identities Film Festival (aGLIFF) hosts the Queer Youth Media Project (QYMP). Youth ages 13-18 are welcome to attend free of charge, spending five days immersed in the filmmaking process and participating in various roles to complete a short film project which will be screened at the 33rd annual film festival.

Students will learn the entire movie making process, including but not limited to: pitching, screenwriting, storyboarding, casting, acting, lighting, sound, cinematography, editing, and adding titles. We want to empower our youth with a platform for self expression, as well as a highly instructive curriculum that teaches the entirety of the filmmaking process. Your creativity and execution have the unique opportunity to be showcased at our Film Festival Program in August, co-presented by our partners at the Austin School of Film.
