The Frames Film Program is a film production and life skills program that provides opportunities for youth to learn the basics of filmmaking in a supportive, safe and fun environment.

Youth collaboratively create short film projects expressing their thoughts and ideas for change. 2 films are created each cohort, which will be shared at the graduation event. Our approach has proven to help youth with significant barriers develop a wide range of skills and begin to take necessary steps towards employment and community attachment.

Several of our participants' short films have had great success on the film festival circuit. Where We Sleep (2012) screened at the Reel 2 Real Film Festival for Youth and won Best Directing for its brave team. What Is A Home? (2013) won Best Film at the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society's Youth Film Competition, and is an official selection of the Reel Youth Film Festival which premiered the PSA at the Vancouver International Film Festival and has toured over thirty countries worldwide.
