Superfly in Seattle

My first blog and i'm already behind! Here are some pics from my trip to Seattle a few weeks back.

Jason from BAVC (Bay Area Video Coalition) was able to find funding for myself and 3 other youth affiliated with BAVC. We stayed in a hotel near the downtown area which reminded me of New York blended with Berkeley's chill, artsy vibe. Our main purpose of going was to participate in Seattle International Film Festival's Youth Fly Filmmaking exeprience- Superfly.

50 youth + 36 hours + 6 short films = Superfly




Jason's backside, the twins, and angelisa- my partner in crime.

We spent a day in Seattle before a 2 hour bus ride to Sqauxin Island, the Native American reservation that would be hosting Superfly for the next two days. The youth center where we stayed had no beds, which meant you slept on the floor of the gym or, if you were involved in the editing process, you didn't sleep at all.

the group I mentored editing.... all night long.

angelisa, trapped in the editing room.

of course not everyone stayed up...


After everything we headed back to Seattle where were watched the videos we'd made at the Seattle International Film Fest.




I had a fantastic time. Not only did i get to experience a new city, i also got to hang out with some great peeps. Shout out to my girls angelisa and sami for making me laugh and letting me take ridiculous pictures of them.
