Press Release

Opportunity for Creative Youth in Wilmington,

Young Hollywood Film Director, Ben Lee Foster, is kicking off his second annual film festival for the youth. This outstanding young film Director, who was recently featured on the Montel Williams Show and is presently interning with BET. He came up with a new concept to host a film festival that gives youth under the age of 18 an opportunity to try their hands at making fun and inspiring short movies, PSA’s and music videos.

“Follow Your Dreams” is this years’ theme. Youth today, are faced with a lot of movies, music videos and television shows that send negative messages. A change needs to be made and our youth are challenged to take a stand.. More inspiring projects need to be created and placed in venues that reach youth, and help them make better decisions in life in order to prepare for a healthier and more positive future.
