Initiated in 1998, the first Queer Youth Digital Video Project helped four youth between the ages of 17-25 make a short video for the Inside Out Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival. Participants were guided through a series of workshops by Inside Out and production partner Charles Street Video that taught them everything from script development to editing to final post-production all in a queer-positive environment, free of censorship. When their final works were premiered at the Festival in May, the youth had no idea of the tradition they were about to start. Now, five years later, the Queer Youth Digital Video Project has mentored more than 35 youth in making their first video. The Youth Project boasts a sold-out screening at the Festival every year and a compilation tape is produced and distributed as a teaching tool to schools and organizations across North America.
