The film festival was very successful, with a lot of support from the community. Many people showed up to learn more about Teen Feed and watch all the great films.

The line-up was very well received; the crowd's favorite being Mitch, a guest at Teen Feed who shared some of his experiences living on the streets and how Teen Feed has helped him find housing.

There was a reception afterwards where everyone could personally talk with Mitch, Megan Gibbard, Teen Feed's executive director, and many other Teen Feed volunteers.

In the audience; connecting with a new group of people.

When the event was over we raised about $3,000, but more importantly we made an impression on the community and Teen Feed connected with a whole new group of people that care about each other and the youth unfortunate enough to be in a situation on the streets.

Here's a link to the promotional video I created that was shown at the festival.
