Jesse Harris’ experience directing a feature film (“Living Life”) at the age of seventeen sparked his desire to create a support organization for young filmmakers. Jocelyn R.C., whose creative endeavors include filmmaking, songwriting, photography and drawing, got in touch with Harris after seeing “Living Life” and expressed her own want for a creative youth organization. Harris and R.C. combined their respective desires and began the very early discussions of what would eventually become NFFTY. Kyle Seago, also a young passionate filmmaker, quickly hopped on board with Harris and R.C. and they established the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY).
