I appreciate that Project Viewfinder could see us, the homeless, and say, “We see value in these youth, right here in our own city.” I am so glad to be selected. I have a message to relay, and I hope it will be understood. |
Butterfly Orton
I am an art addict, the kind that never gets enough beauty. I’ve also always been a solo creator. This project is giving me an opportunity to let go, give in, and work with others. I am enjoying it thoroughly. |

I’m ambitious. I take risks. I love my family and friends. I put forward a lot of effort to achieve a goal. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with on this awesome project. We all share the common goal of film. |
Deondre Irons
I’m strong because of my struggles. I’m intelligent because of the things I’ve experienced in my life. I see the same things other people see, just not in the same way. Expressing my ideas through the camera keeps me building strength in myself. |

Jo’Vannie Jones
I want to be an inspiration for others like me out there and a voice for disenfranchised people. This is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am thrilled to be a part of. I am learning skills that will last me a lifetime. |
John Pinney
What can I say? Fiction is my inspiration. I believe Project Viewfinder is the beautiful stepping stone between myself as a nerdy, obscure, toiling writer and a provocative, mythmaking filmmaker, ready to unlock my full potential. |

Kayla Stone
I am unfolding the magic I feel in my heart with my community, and I am turning it into a bigger, revolutionary reality. We are using strength, dedication, maturity, and compassion to create each other’s perspectives on film and to share that vision and experience with the world. |
Rachel Derryberry
Just because mishaps in my life have stopped me before doesn’t mean I’m stopping now. Project Viewfinder is helping me realize that I want to improve myself and that I have more to give. I’m persevering into a new life. |

Rex Brushwood
I’m hoping that my image alone will tell you about me. Symbolism, after all, transcends language. At Project Viewfinder, they’re very good to me. I enjoy working with my peers. They’ve taught me so much. I’m touched. |
Treasure Gill
I’m a very bright young lady that views the world as half full. I’m an open book. I’m awesome, entertaining, goofy, and I can honestly do anything I set my mind to. Project Viewfinder is making my ideas into reality using film. |
