Seattle Times
At 23, filmmaker Jesse Harris is too old to be included in his own festival. The National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY), whose third-annual edition unspools next weekend, showcases the work of filmmakers 22 and younger. (Its youngest participant is 7.) But don’t feel sorry for Harris — he did squeak one music video in under the wire, made when he was still 22. His festival, created in Seattle to support other young filmmakers, has grown dramatically into a one-of-a-kind celebration.
