As part of our #FueltheFututeofFilm campaign, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our longest-running programs: The Living Reel Project—a collaboration that empowers teens in foster care to create, express, and be heard. 🎤💛

Every year, NashFilm partners with @youthvillages , @morainemusic , and a team of incredible Nashville songwriters, musicians, producers, and filmmakers to give underserved teens a rare opportunity: the chance to write, compose, and record an original song, and see their story come to life on screen.

This year’s song, “Trenches (Keep Going),” was co-written by the teens of Youth Villages (The Flyers), alongside acclaimed artists @kyshonamusic and @carlymoffa . Through guided workshops, the teens opened up, found their voices, and created something powerful, personal, and entirely their own.

Their journey was documented by professional filmmakers and premiered at #NashFilm56, giving each participant a platform, a moment of recognition, and a reminder that their voice matters.

Programs like Living Reel don’t just nurture artistic skills—they build confidence, resilience, and belonging for youth whose stories too often go unheard.

If this work resonates with you, we hope you’ll consider supporting our campaign. Your gift directly fuels programs that uplift young creators and help them discover what’s possible.
