Youth Digital Filmmakers

The Youth Digital Filmmakers, one component of the larger “California Stories: How I See It” initiative, is a partnership of the California Council for the Humanities and ZeroDivide.   BAVC acts as a programmatic, editorial, technical, and distribution consultant to this series of eight youth media projects throughout the state.  These projects are engaging a variety of young Californians in making films about what they see and experience. Central to each film is a focus on the broad theme of “connections” and “disconnections.” The projects were guided by experienced project directors, award-winning filmmakers and humanities experts. The completed films were screened locally in the young people’s communities, broadcast on cable television channels and are available for viewing on various websites.
