The story adults are missing? You might be the one to tell it 🎬

Ocean health. Friendship. Identity. Mental health. Life on Maui. Whatever matters to you could become a film that makes someone think, feel or see the world differently.

Swipe through for ideas, then start imagining what your story could look like on the big screen.

EVERY YOUNG PERSON HAS A STORY.
Be Reel gives them a place to tell it. 🎥

A camera can be more than a camera. It can be a way to find your voice, share your perspective and show the world something only you can see.

That’s what Be Reel is all about. 🎬

We celebrate young filmmakers and give youth a platform to share their stories, creativity and vision with their community—and beyond.

Here’s to the next generation of storytellers. 💛

🎬 Every great film starts with an idea.

A question.
A memory.
A dream.
A story waiting to be told.

Be Reel celebrates the creativity, imagination, and unique perspectives of children and young filmmakers. We can't wait to see what stories this next generation brings to the screen.

Keep creating. We'll be here to celebrate your work.

🎥 Lights. Camera. Creativity.

Behind every short film is a team solving problems, trying new ideas, laughing through the bloopers, and learning something new.

That's what Be Reel is all about—giving young creators the opportunity to grow, collaborate, and share their voices with the community.

✨ Creativity doesn't only happen on a movie set.

It happens in classrooms.
At the kitchen table.
On the beach.
In the backyard.
Anywhere imagination has room to grow.

Whether you're writing, drawing, filming, editing, or simply dreaming up your next big idea, keep creating.

We can't wait to see where your imagination takes you.

🎞️ The credits may have rolled on this year's festival, but the story is far from over.

We're already looking ahead to another incredible year of inspiring films, talented young creators, and a community that believes every voice deserves to be heard.

Until then, keep telling stories that matter.

We'll see you at the movies.
