DC YOUNG FILMMAKERS

MISSION

DC Young Filmmakers empower youth ages 16-18 by teaching the art of storytelling through the creative aspects of digital filmmaking and media production. This six-week program aims to target unserved youth in impoverished communities and enlighten their knowledge of media technologies. DC Young Filmmakers' action-based programming develops leadership skills, creativity, and critical thinking skills through the artistic process of filmmaking. 


Highlight

The DC Young Filmmakers were recipients of the "2021 Building Blocks DC Community Grant" to help our efforts to reduce gun violence with the short film 'Everlasting Arms.' 


Testimony by Angela Washington ❤️❤️❤️  

“811 Productions creates a space for young filmmakers to live out their dreams! During the summer, 811 Productions has filmmaker workshops that has the kids create their own short films. All of the filming takes place in the community and notable landmarks are featured in the films. They write it, develop a script, act, and help with editing and marketing. At the end of the program, they debut their films. The pride you see on these kids' faces is truly priceless. This creative outlet is a blessing to the kids, their families, and the community.”
