The Wellfleet Youth Film Festival is designed to encourage and promote a challenging, fun and exciting creative outlet for young people and artists. For those who wish to pursue the craft of filmmaking, this festival provides a great opportunity for gaining real-world experience. Recognition of exceptional work will be given via awards, however this festival is not a competitive contest and therefore we welcome a diverse range of skill levels.

Our goal is to create an opportunity for all youth to explore and develop their creative and artistic abilities, to express their unique selves, to provide support and feedback to one another, and to enjoy the rewards of seeing their project through to completion. Someone once said, “A good film is a finished film”. So…let’s make some movies!
