Movie Magic

A few days ago Our Time hosted it's first-ever film festival, during which they screened the amazing films that its young company members have created over the last two years! The event was held at the gorgeous and esteemed Director's Guild of America Theater (which was generously donated to Our Time for the day 100% free of charge).

The glamorous atmosphere was heightened by the exciting greeting awaiting each kid filmmaker as they arrived in all their red-carpet finery...

There was a throng of press and paparazzi clamoring near the entrance (or were they well-rehearsed Our Time Volunteers?)...

...who rushed out to 57th street to snap shots of each Star as they arrived.

Then there was the parade of glitterati posing in front of the step-and-repeat...

Quite the bunch of style-setters, wouldn't you say?

Of course, our little fam was there to join in the fun...

After the grand entrance, and a few words from the hosts, all the kids and an audience of adoring fans (their friends, families, and the Our Time staff), took their seats and settled in to enjoy the festival...

23 short films later, everyone filed back out onto the street,

happy, inspired, celebratory...

and most of all,

triumphant.
