Put a child in front of a camera and you might end up with a candid moment that’s viral-worthy and gets grandma tapping on her smartphone. Put kids on both sides of the camera and you’ll gain unique perspectives on society, community and family at Light House Studio’s Annual Youth Film Festival. The film center teaches filmmaking and gives youngsters access to showcases such as the LA Film Festival and far reaching outlets like PBS, CNN and IFC. Past Light House movies have received national awards, including a Peabody, a Gold World Medal at the New York Festivals International Television and Film Awards and a CINE Golden Eagle.

Free news is good news!
Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
