New Beginnings — Youth Documentary Academy

Dear Friends,

We can’t thank you enough for your support this season in the Indy Give Campaign.  We know there are many needs in the community, especially this year, and we really appreciate you stepping forward to keep our program alive and well in Southern Colorado.  Our goal this year was to raise $10,000 and we will be close.

You can still make a contribution until December 31 at midnight at www.indygive.com/yda

At a time when the national discourse has sometimes felt bewildering, we are proud to (and often bowled over by) the opportunity to work with young people who bring such open hearts and open minds to the art of filmmaking. YDA filmmakers and their work are educating, engaging and healing themselves and those around them. Year after year.

We can’t express to you how lucky we all feel to be part of this endeavor.

We wish you the very best in 2021 and hope you are relishing many new visions of the future this week.

Warmest wishes,

-Tom Shepard, Founder and Director
