The youth that participate in Youth Vision had the chance to learn about the film industry, produce their own film, and also have the chance to visit film sets and studios around the Columbia area. Youth Vision was created to inspire, build confidence, and bring out the creative side of all participating youth. The film that the youth created this year is named Our Future, even though the acting wasn’t the best the film has a message that ever one should consider. It also won the Oscar Micheaux Award at the film festival.
