MY Film Festival: Providing the stage for the voice of marginalized youth.

# data[].attributes.body
To Whom It Concerns,

My name is Melissa from MY Film Festival and I am contacting you today on behalf of our group to let you know about a project we have begun which we would be delighted to partner with your charity on.

MY Film Festival is a registered charity that provides the stage for the voice of marginalized youth in a 3 day event held at the QUT campus.  We are hoping to both engage amateur film makers and also raise awareness of the issues associated with marginalized groups and the charities that work with them.

We are currently in the planning stages of the film festival and right now we are contacting selected charities to see if they would be will to partner with us to help promote the film festival and reach out to their audience for potential film makers and festival attendees.

The film festival will focus on a different group for each of the 3 days, the first will focus on Indigenous youth, the second on immigrant youth and the third will be youths with disabilities.  For each day we will showcase shortlisted films from amateur film makers, with the community invited to attend the screening.  Tickets will be available to the public for $10 and all the proceeds of this event will be given to that day's charity partner.

We would be excited by the opportunity to work with your charity for our festival and would be grateful for any input you could give us on what you might like to see from this event, as well as any spokespeople you might know of that would be willing to assist us with promotion.

One of our members will be in contact with you this week to ask if you have any follow up questions.  In the meantime, if you would like any more information please contact one of our team members at partnerships@myfilmfest.com.au

Kind Regards,

Melissa-Jade Stampa

MY Film Festival CEO

Group Roles

MY Film Festival has been created to highlight the issues faced by marginalized youth and celebrate their culture.  We aim to help give them a stage from which they can have their voice heard.  It is designed to give amateur film makers from within the groups an opportunity to showcase what they want the community to know and encourage inclusiveness and support.  We hope to partner with charities and key spokespeople within our target groups to ensure we are doing our best to deliver an event that is respectful, enlightening and empowering to the groups involved.  While the event's primary purpose is to encourage this inclusivenesses and understanding within the community through the showcasing of films created by the youths, our secondary purpose is to raise funds through ticket sales for our partnered charities and create awareness of them through the wider community.  The film festival will be an ideal way to do this in an entertaining and lively atmosphere.
