Apply now for the 2012 TCYMN Youth Media Summit!

Each spring, as part of our mission to empower youth media producers and educators, TCYMN sponsors a Youth Media Summit where youth media producers from across the Twin Cities meet each other, learn more about media, and create original films in randomly selected teams. During the course of one day, youth at the Summit are put into groups, assigned a genre (such as documentary, narrative, or experimental), given a prop, and challenged to work together to create an original film from start to finish.

The 2012 TCYMN Youth Media Summit is scheduled to take place on May 12th at the Minneapolis Television Network on St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis. The application is now available for the Youth Media Summit! If you're a Twin Cities youth in high school or middle school, fill out our Application today online.

Check out videos and photos from the 2009 TCYMN Youth Media Summit. For more information, watch the 2009 TCYMN Youth Media Summit Documentary, which chronicles the whole process of filmmaking from start to finish.

The 2012 Youth Media Summit is supported by: Youthprise, Hampden Park Co-op, The Science Museum of Minnesota, Wuollet Bakery, Kowalski's and Dairy Queen.

This May, TCYMN hosted its second annual Youth Media Summit at the Hennepin County Central Library. The Summit was a huge success: 30 youth from TCYMN Member organizations made six original films in just six hours. Groups of youth were given a genre and a prop (a slinky) and all filming took place within a two block radius of the library. Here are the films that the youth created.

"What Just Happened?!" - Experimental

"Truth & Confessions" - Sci-Fi

"The Package" - Action

"Slinkies For All Ages" - Documentary

"Belief" - Music Video

"Attack of the Slinky" - Horror

The TCYMN 2010 Youth Media Summit was made possible with the generous help of Hennepin County Libraries.
