In 2006, Josiah Miles Neundorf, a talented 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, his parents, Marcus and Nancy Neundorf with the URBAN-15 Group are proud to announce the continuation of the Josiah Youth Media Festival, an annual event designed to showcase outstanding works by young film, video and media artists.
