The DREAMS Youth Film Festival presents new films made by kids and for kids that are under 10 minutes in length and do not contain any reference to business of any kind. We prefer films that do not contain mustard or milk. The festival showcases comedy, animation, scary movies, action movies but nothing boring like history or math. The festival is made by youth from Wilmington, North Carolina who are taking classes at the DREAMS Center for Arts Education. This year's festival will be held at Jengo's Playhouse in downtown Wilmington.

    Although I was unable to attend the festival I was able to communicate simply with the coordinator and felt welcomed from afar. The young people sent me a card with logo stickers in appreciation. Overall, I appreciated the simplicity of applying, the fee was very reasonable, and the selection notification was great. If I do more programing appropriate for children I will apply again.
