    Our students loved attending the Youth Diversity Film Festival! Showing the films at the lovely Regal LA Live, with red carpet press and panels with industry professionals made this a perfect first-time experience for our young filmmakers. Highly recommended for any high school filmmakers.

    Unfortunately I couldn’t make it in person due to outside circumstances but very grateful to have my film screened! All the other film selections were great and from what I saw online it seemed like they gave good opportunities for a diverse group of young filmmakers to speak about their films, especially for free. Great opportunity!
