From coast to coast and all the states in between, young filmmakers under the age of 21 experiment with film to  sound off on matters important to them. In a range of genres including documentary and fantasy, this talented group of individuals defy tradition and break stereotypes to communicate stories that are at once personal and topical. From a girl’s realization of her sexual orientation to an exploration of media’s impact on its audience, these emerging filmmakers bravely and boldly express their distinct points of view.
