Indiana’s Young Filmmakers Shine

Indiana’s only youth film festival returns for its third year, June 26–28, spotlighting young filmmakers ages 12–24 with 60 films and workshops at KanKan Cinema and 10 East Art Hub. Founded by Deonna Weatherly to fill a local creative void, the event now boasts 65 submissions—up from 20—thanks to its growing community impact. Hosted by spoken word artist Auboni Essence, it’s a vibrant hub for networking, mentorship, and collaboration, with opening night featuring acclaimed NY filmmaker B Monet and local talent Niso Kapsalis. Families get to witness their kids’ serious cinematic talent on the big screen, while the next generation of storytellers builds a thriving local film scene right here in Indiana.
