Background: The Hollywood Theatre’s Project Youth Doc (“PYD”) program provides youth the opportunity to produce short documentary films of personal and social relevance, cultivating a heightened sense of community awareness/involvement and nurturing the development of students’ artistic voices in a positive peer-to-peer environment. By using documentary film as a vehicle for creative self-expression, students who participate in PYD become better connected to their peers, the community in which they live and, most importantly, themselves.
