The Houston HOME Film Festival: Films About Home

This is the first festival for this organization. We are seeking short films that define "home" in the traditional or non-traditional sense while highlighting its importance. Youth that come into foster care are most often deprived of having a "traditional" home but are rather uprooted never getting the opportunity to make endless positive memories. We are seeking filmmakers that can execute what that looks like in the form of films. Our goal is to encourage inventive approaches to the foster care community through the arts and cultural influences. HOME’s love for film resides in its superb ability to combine an assembly of arts under one roof seeking to disband all hindrances from allowing the youth to have a voice. We are seeking films that address these concerns rather it be in animation form, documentary, experimental, music video, or student. The selection committee will consist of youth currently in care in the Houston area. If your film exceeds 10 minutes it will be automatically disqualified. HOME (Haven of Memorable Experiences) is an organization that seeks to help youth in foster care transition into adult hood more smoothly by supplying them with positive experiences along the way.
