Largo Area Youth Film Project

Let’s make something amazing together!

How to Get Involved

Do you live in the Largo a

rea and have a story to tell? We want to see your creativity!

Create your own 5-minute film clip about a topic that’s important to you. It could be something personal, a local landmark, or an imaginative tale inspired by our community.

Your unique clip will become part of a special community film that we’ll share at local screenings in 2025. It’s a fantastic chance to see your work on the big screen!

 Important Deadline

The deadline to submit your film clip is June 30, 2025.
