Josiah Youth Media Festival
In 2006, Josiah Miles Neundorf, a talented and prolific media artist from San Antonio, Texas, passed away as a result of Osteosarcoma, a cancer of the bone. In his short twenty years with us, Josiah expanded the lives of those who knew him through his brilliance, his joy and his determination to create outstanding works in the midst of the pain and physical ravages from this disease.
In honor of this artist, who only wanted to share his wonderment with the world around us, his parents, Marcus and
Nancy Neundorf with the URBAN-15 Group have created the Josiah Youth Media Festival , an annual event designed to showcase outstanding works by young film, video and media artists.
The three-day event will take place at the URBAN-15 Studio in San Antonio, Texas on July 10, 11 and 12, 2008.
In addition to screenings, there will be opportunities for critiques, panel discussions and product demonstrations.
