The Festival is hosted by the non-profit organization Through the Lens – Houston whose mission is to teach kids the power of storytelling through their own eyes, empowering them to create short films on a variety of topics affecting their communities. 

Film Projects

Through The Lens is a 501 (c)(3) in Houston. It’s mission is to teach kids the power of storytelling through their own eyes. We empower them to create short films on a variety of topics affecting their communities.

Children’s Workshops

Sports and Art are two of the most cut public programs for school age kids in the US. This is creating a wider divide of the haves and have-nots. We fill a gap in the educational landscape through our kids book, programming, workshops and access to sports.

Screenings for Kids

We will screen short films for kids that have an educational aspect. This will cultivate a larger audience by presenting shorter stories.

All Donations are tax-deductible donations that fund our educational workshops and programming.
