What People Say

"BYkids is a powerful and poignant idea. Film has always shown the capacity to be an important social, political and emotional tool - maybe never more so than when it is placed in the hands of the world's youth, guided by some of our greatest documentarians. This is a formula that can only benefit everyone involved - the kids, their countries, the filmmakers, and most significantly, the audience."

- Campbell Scott, actor

"You are tapping into a global resource that every nation, country, race and culture cherishes — their children."

- Gordon Iaconetti, fashion/retail/music entrepreneur

"I am excited by the momentum you have built for BYkids. What a great endeavor. I sense a great success in the making."

- Richard Celeste, President of Colorado College and former Director of the Peace Corps, Governor of Ohio and Ambassador to India.

"BYkids is fantastic and I would be very eager to make sure these important films are widely distributed. First Run in one of the largest independent theatrical and home video distributors in the U.S. and through our distribution channels we would be able to make your films available to theatrical, broadcast, cable, home video, schools and universities, broadband and international markets."

- Seymour Wishman, President of First Run Features

"UNICEF proudly supports BYkids in the important work of bringing personal stories of children around the world to the widest possible audience."

- Stephen Cassidy, UNICEF

"BYkids is a wildly generous and creative way to reach out to kids and widen their world and ours by giving them the means to tell their own stories on film."

- Frances Richey, author/poet
