Youth FX @ BlackStar Film Fest

Tax deductible
We're excited to announce that THREE films directed by Youth FX  filmmakers have been selected to screen at the 2018 BlackStar Film Festival  in Philadelphia!!! 

BlackStar is one of the most acclaimed film festivals specifically for black filmmakers and filmmakers from the African Diaspora.   Last year Ava Duvernay was the honorary speaker and many of the top films from across the country and the world were screened there.

The three films selected are: NIGHTS OF AUTUMN (dir. by Majestic Tillman), SILENCE (dir. by Camille Dobbs), & BEEFCAKE (dir. by Ejaniia Clayton).

Our goal is to bring a Youth FX crew of 10 people including the directors, actors and cinematographers to the festival to experience the excitement and build community with other Black & Brown filmmakers from around the country!!!

This GoFundMe fundraiser will help to cover travel costs, lodging and food!!!
