Calling all young filmmakers

Are you the next Jordan Peele? Maybe you're more like Ava DuVernay, or Steven Speilberg. Whatever the case, if you're interested in film, the Baltimore Youth Film Arts Program is enrolling for fall workshops now!

The Baltimore Youth Film Arts Program offers Baltimore City residents ages 16 to 29 the opportunity to learn
camera skills, refine storytelling techniques, and create films and photographs to be shared at public screenings
and exhibitions. The program is FREE, and participants are paid stipends for their contributions and receive certificates for successful completion. HInt: this would look great on a college application, or you can start your film reel!
