THE MY HERO PROJECT AND ONE EARTH YOUNG FILMMAKERS CONTEST ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION

The MY HERO International Film Festival and the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest (OEYFC) are pleased to announce a new collaboration aimed at supporting and amplifying the voices of emerging filmmakers who are telling powerful stories about heroism, environmental stewardship, and positive change.

Through this partnership, both organizations will work together to encourage young filmmakers from around the world to share their stories and participate in opportunities that celebrate creativity, advocacy, and impact-driven storytelling.

The MY HERO International Film Festival, presented by The MY HERO Project, brings together professional and youth filmmakers who honor local and global heroes working for positive change in the world. The One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest empowers youth to take an active role in the global dialogue on climate change, giving them a creative platform to share their stories, concerns, and hopes for the future through the powerful medium of film.

By collaborating, the two organizations aim to expand opportunities for youth filmmakers, increase visibility for student-created films, and foster a global community of storytellers committed to social and environmental progress.

“We are excited to collaborate with the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest,” said Santos Herrera, Director of the MY HERO International Film Festival. “Both of our programs believe in the power of storytelling to inspire change, and this partnership helps ensure that more young filmmakers have the opportunity to share their voices with the world.”

“We are proud to stand alongside MY HERO in amplifying the next generation of voices that our world so urgently needs to hear. We believe young people can shift perspectives and move people to act. Our partnership deepens that belief, bringing together two communities united by the conviction that storytelling through film is one of the most powerful forces for change we have,” added Sue Crothers, Founding Director of the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest.
