2024 WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW FILMS A SUCCESS
On Saturday, November 16, at the Cornerstone Center for the Arts at Colorado College, YDA presented the World Premiere of new films produced by the Class of 2024.
From immigration and body image, to faith and family, from homelessness and namesakes to memory and motherhood, 13 budding filmmakers unveiled powerful and poignant work that opened the door to courageous conversations.
To continue the dialogue that began in the theatre, a connections corridor of 20+ community groups tabled in the lobby, forming a town’s square, full of community resources.
