The Creative Collective Film Festival is how we screen Documentary Films from members of our Artist Collective. These short documentary films are shot by our young people. These films tell the stories of the Underrepresented community of people in media from LGBTQ+ BIPOC, and persons with Special Needs. We represent a community of Directors, Cinematographers, and Content Creators. Thank you to our host 1800 Lucky Wynwood Miami, and Soho House NY for giving us the platform to amplify our voices
