Big Picture Alliance logo

Big Picture Alliance empowers youth to define their own narrative through filmmaking and digital media. Our pathway of school, summer and workforce digital media programs provide youth ages 12-24 the tools to represent themselves and the skills to succeed in school, life and career. We aim to uplift and amplify underrepresented voices and build an inclusive creative community that plays a vital role in Philadelphia and beyond.
