Featuring: Julie Joyce
Youth Filmmakers: Julie Joyce, Johnny Khan, Matthew Khan
Adult Mentors: Luna Luis Ortiz, Shawn Atkins
Julie Joyce is not a boy. She is more than an intense, fast-talking New York City 16 year-old. She's a trans-gendered youth who wants what all young people want--to be heard and to have a positive space to live and grow.
"I Am Not a Boy" is one of eleven short films in the "Beyond Borders: Personal Stories from a Small Planet" series.
What do youth fear most in their lives? How do they overcome those fears? 'Beyond Borders: Personal Stories from a Small Planet' is a creative burst of defiance and hope by teenagers who are overcoming the huge obstacles and ignorance that have defined their lives. It's an inspiring compilation of nine short films written, shot and edited by teenagers who weave documentary filmmaking, animation and archival footage to tell personal stories on fear and security. With mentorship from professional filmmakers, youth produced films that are powerful, startling and awe-inspiring.
With stories from Afghanistan, Argentina, Colombia, England Jordan, Korea, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, Ukraine and the United States, these youth-produced films will challenge audiences to redefine fear and the priorities we make in a post 9/11 world.
It was produced by Austin Haeberle of the Listen Up! Youth Media Network in collaboration with House of Frame by Frame Fierce (New York, NY).
