Young Hollywood Filmmaker, Ben Lee Foster is presenting his 2nd Annual film festival for youth. The purpose of the festival is to inspire youth nationwide to create short video, PSA's or music videos that encourage other youth to do the right thing. There are so many negative movies and music videos that influence youth to do negative things.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Enough Is Enough"... It's time to make a change in what young people watch and listen to. Hopefully, together we can inspire others to do the right things in life. "If you take in alot of negative material...you become a negative person. We are made up of what we watch and listen to".

The film festival will showcase projects made for youth by youth. Future writers, producers, and directors are encouraged to create projects that has a positive influence.

Chosen projects will be screened in the 2010 youth film festival. Ben Lee Foster wants to offer the opportunity to other youth, the same as someone offered him. This opportunity allows youth a chance to showcase their work and a chance to be inspired by other filmmakers.
