WYOU Summer Youth Films

Each summer, WYOU provides video production experience for middle school students in the region. Groups of kids...along with WYOU staff...write, produce, rehearse, act, and shoot short films which, when it's all over, end up airing on the station. One of the most widely seen and most enjoyed of these short movies is The American Transport. See other WYOU youth films on our youtube channel.
