Cinequest Picture the Possibilities

CINEQUEST Picture The Possibilities (PTP): a transformative leadership movement, where empowered youth create films expressing visions of a better tomorrow that inspire global leaders to ignite change.

Top films will participate in a world premiere event simultaneously connecting global media, business, cultural and political leaders to not just watch the movies but to also enact select changes envisioned by the teens into their community—rippling into a worldwide phenomenon.

PTP empowers youth around the globe with innovative tools, mentors, and training. PTP connects youth and leaders around the world to share ideas, gain a better understanding, build friendships, and share their hopes for the future, but most importantly it gives youth a powerful voice for positive change. It educates, heals, transforms, enlightens, inspires, and creates an opportunity for an improved future not only for the participants, but for all of us who listen to their stories.
