Youth Media
An honest perspective of the world would not be near complete without the younger voices of any generation. These voices provide to the larger picture a natural curiosity that always seems to give room to innovative content creation. Featuring work from producers around the world, in and out of academic institutions, here is a selection that honors the decadence of youthful expression, and brings to light with respect, the voices of tomorrow's producers.
