The Future Filmmakers Showcase will screen films written, produced and directed by youth filmmakers from across the country and around the globe on the big screen at ArcLight Culver City. The showcase consists of a curated program of short films made by middle and high school students, selected by a committee of working filmmakers and youth curators from Los Angeles. We invite you to join us in celebrating the work of these exceptional young artists.
