For its 40th anniversary, I oversaw the production of two new films that tell the story of YoungArts' impressive legacy and new mission to foster artists throughout their careers. The films were created by YoungArts awardees, including Doug Blush, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, and Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum, a Grammy Award-winning composer.
"We Are YoungArts" incorporates archival footage and new interviews to highlight the organization's impact on the careers of award winners over four decades. "YoungArts for Life" explores the ongoing support that winners receive beyond the competition, extending throughout their professional lives.
These films complemented the 2016 "About YoungArts" video, which I also oversaw with Doug Blush directing. The documentary-style film explores the experiences and transformations of winners during National YoungArts Week.
