The festival will take place in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on June 2nd.
Westport is home to many New York film professionals, and the festival, in association with the Westport Arts Center, is designed to provide an outlet for young filmmakers to share their work in a professional environment and receive constructive criticism from a combination of peers and professionals. This competitive festival screens “the best international and national high school and middle school films.” For more about WYFF, visit www.westportyouthfilmfest.org.
Dream House will premiere with other works produced by students during the spring semester at The Showing on Friday, June 1st in the BHS auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students.
