2025 WRAP PARTY
LIGHTS. CAMERA. CELEBRATE!
Friday, Dec 5
6:30pm – 9:30pm
We’re rolling out the red carpet, and this time, it’s for our students, families, and friends! Get ready for a night filled with creativity, inspiration, and celebration as we highlight the amazing work of our young filmmakers and the community that helped them shine.
Our Mission
Upcoming Storytellers is a hands-on storytelling program that empowers the next generation of diverse content creators and community leaders. We connect students and young adults from all backgrounds with top-tier equipment, mentorship, and real-world experiences to tell authentic stories that inspire change. Through storytelling, collaboration, and accessibility, we help young voices turn creativity into impact. Through our Program, students can participate free of cost and will be able to have the experience of being mentored by and learning from industry experts and leaders.
Telling Stories Authentically
Why It Matters
Access to professional gear, studio spaces, and creative networks is often limited — especially for students from underrepresented communities. Upcoming Storytellers closes that gap.
By pairing young people with working creatives, we:
-
Open doors to careers in media, film, and communications
-
Build confidence in public speaking, collaboration, and leadership
-
Help students see their lived experiences as powerful, valuable stories
When young people see themselves behind the camera, on the mic, and in the director’s chair, they start to see new possibilities for their future.
