Limelight Creatives run free film-a-thons for high schoolers.
Interested in sponsoring?We're giving the next generation of screenwriters, cinematographers, and auteurs a stage to show their skills to the world.
Our name pays homage to one of the first cinema studios in the world, following a long line of filmmaking heritage.
We're here to push forward the dreams of filmmakers everywhere, by giving teenagers the resources to kickstart their journey into visual storytelling.
