Who We Are

The 25 Under 25 Film Fest is a film festival based in New York City, highlighting young filmmakers under the age of 25, who are making films 25 minutes or less. This is the second time it's happening!

Started by a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, it serves to create a larger platform for up-and-coming filmmakers by highlighting films by these young people that will be making up the film industry for decades to come. We aim to produce an environment that encourages youth art, innovative ideas, and lasting connections between young filmmakers. 

25 Under 25 is a passion project that attempts to make festivals more accessible, more enjoyable, and just a rollicking good time. 

The festival will be held from May 15-17 at the Stuart Cinema & Cafe in Brooklyn, NY.

This year, we plan to donate a portion of ticket sales to local and national causes, including fighting climate change, abolishing ICE, and overcoming gender inequality.

What We Need

Wow we need so many things:

  • We are looking to raise a minimum of $10,000 for a whole host of things, including theater rental, venue space for panel and awards events, and an emergency fund for filmmakers who need travel and lodging. It's incredibly important to us that these young filmmakers are able to experience the fest, so we want to do anything and everything we can to get them to Brooklyn for a fantastic weekend.
  • We will need food and drinks throughout the weekend. In-kind donations and partnerships, even connections, are more than welcome.
  • We even would love to give away cash prizes to the top 3 films. It's no secret. You need money to make films and to survive in these huge cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, or SF. We want to help these young people worry a bit less about funding. 

The Impact

25 Under 25 inspires young people to create art. It connects up-and-coming filmmakers to encourage collaboration. It gives artists a larger platform to show their work and it shows the community what young people can do. We hope we are making the world a better place for artists, creators, and members of our community.
