NFFTY 2013 Festival is April 25 – 28th
And guess what it’s held in Seattle, so come on down!
The mission of NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth) is to enable, nurture, promote and encourage the next generation of filmmakers to inspire, lead and entertain the world with their stories.
Growing up digital- the current youth are the first generation where digital tools for creation have become second nature. Removing the barriers between tools and expression allows artistic freedom. There is nothing like the enthusiasm, optimism, creativity and freshness of youth. Films are a beautiful medium for that expression.
To paraphrase my husband Tom… films are the most important art form of the 20th century because they are a synthesis of all the other art forms.
Please support NFFTY
