Film Festival Logo

You may have lived it or you may be going through it now; first kisses, infatuations, fear of discovery, unrequited love, and ultimate tests of friendship. This impressive collection of shorts with a youth theme are stepping stones for those coming of age and those looking back on what was or could have been.
Producers Deanne Foley and Natasha Ryan (This Boy) will attend the screening.
