ICFC is building a place where young people learn filmmaking by doing. They will develop their own ideas into stories, while working together to bring those stories to the screen, and gaining experience that can lead to jobs or entrepreneurship.
Why it matters: young people have stories worth telling. With the right skills and support they can create stories that reflect the positive things that take place in their daily lives.
