Acton TV highlighted its youth programming at the annual meeting and invited entries for the Acton TV Youth Film Festival.
Patrick Snow, youth media coordinator, said AB Youth Media Project is entering its tenth season and continues to meet regularly; participants produce short films, sketches and documentaries. Snow announced the Youth Film Festival will screen in person on Feb. 20, with submissions accepted through January. He said entries come from Acton and surrounding towns, that the festival runs roughly an hour to 80 minutes and that judges award cash prizes.
Snow encouraged teens in grades 7–12 to participate and noted younger entrants have been shown in prior years; he also said the festival offers networking opportunities and a public exhibition of student work.
The youth program is a stated priority for Acton TV’s community engagement and training of future media producers.
