Changing the way homeless and marginalized youth see and are seen through film.
A creative outlet is essential for healing from trauma, for gaining essential skills for self sufficiency and getting on the path to self actualization. Portland has one of the highest concentrations of homeless youth in the country. It also has some of the best wrap around social services for homeless youth in the country. However, most agencies providing life saving services do not have the capacity for consistent creative programming or cutting edge technological training.
Outside the Frame was created to fill this void.
Founder Nili Yosha created and ran an innovative and visible film program at Outside In for three years. Outside the Frame builds upon that foundation.
