2025 World Premiere
On November 9th, over 500 audience members and community partners joined YDA to celebrate the premiere of 11 new YDA films at Cornerstone Arts Center at Colorado College. Everyone packed the house, clapped throughout every film, and showed our young filmmakers just how much this community has their back.
Thank you to our sponsors
Huge gratitude to the many partners who make a premiere like this possible!
We’re still buzzing from the World Premiere of NEW films from the Youth Documentary Academy here in Colorado Springs. Thank you for showing up, cheering loudly, and believing in the power of storytelling. We can’t wait to see these films travel to festivals, public television, and conferences nationwide.
Tom Shepard, YDA Executive Director
