Wide Angle Youth Media is proud to participate in the first day of the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Youth and the Future of Culture. Through film screenings, interactive panels, a hands-on social media workshop, and an animation activity, our team will celebrate the perspectives and talent of emerging creatives.
Learn how to guide and support someone in sharing their story through compelling social media reels. You’ll explore best practices for directing, from helping people feel comfortable on camera to adjusting your approach based on the video’s purpose. The session also includes filming fundamentals like composition tips and simple techniques that make your footage more engaging and easier to edit.
We’re hosting a special fundraiser/friendraiser at Peabody Heights. It’s a great chance to gather as a community and celebrate the amazing work of Wide Angle Youth Media, while enjoying some drinks—all for a good cause!

Our inspiring high school photo exhibit will be on view at Red Emma's! These portraits were created by students in Wide Angle Youth Media's fall and spring high school photography class taught by Sydney Allen. Students explored new approaches to Portraiture as a response to an overall generational desire to be less looked at, but still wanting to be visible. The photos presented are a result of students' examination of how to make portraits without using the face or facial identifiers.
