Now in our 20th year, Action Youth Media continues to provide free classes and paid internships to all youth who enroll in our programs.

Join AYM as we celebrate the creativity and passion of our local youth filmmakers!

Each year we take time to recognize the accomplishments of our incredible students. Our showcase is a celebration of their work throughout the year, which they are able to experience in a “real” theatre environment. We will be viewing films from our Takoma Park camp program, each of our intern programs, as well as class projects from our weekly class. The presentations will be followed by Q&A with the students who created those projects and some special guests.

Reserve your seat today!
