Reel Ambitions: Films by youth who have experienced homelessness
The November 7th celebration will feature our best work yet (again), which we couldn’t do without your support!
The lineup includes “American Teenager,” a slice of life drama about a girl living in a motel and “The Spot,” a comedy about young people crammed into their first apartment. Reel Ambitions will also premiere “My Shoes,” a music video by OTF alumnus Talilo Marfil featuring legendary indie rapper Tech N9ne.
“On the streets of Portland I learned to use my talent of rapping as a form of survival and a performance for change,” said Marfil. “Since that time I always had a dream of rapping with Tech N9ne, one of my biggest influences in hip hop. From the streets I cultivated my talent and throughout the years I trained to prepare for the day my dream would come true.
When I got out of prison in 2012, Outside The Frame put a camera in my hands and said ‘go!’ They taught me the skills to direct, film, edit — and most of all believed in me to see projects through. Today I am proud to say that this dream of mine is in collaboration with OTF who helped me make the music video in collaboration with Strange Music and Tech N9ne!”
