Theatrical Premiere of "Youth" at Bethel Cinema Dec 18th at 7pm

Theatrical Premiere of "Youth" at Bethel Cinema, CT Film Festival Official Selection

Directed by sixteen-year-old Newtown filmmaker Max Galassi, "Youth" is the story of three small-town teenagers navigating the dog days of their adolescence. After his parents separate, the coy and pensive Chris (Jeremy Eckl) moves across the country to live with his aunt. A stranger to his new surroundings, he finds comfort in his own thoughts and writing in his journal.  But after meeting two local girls, hardworking Nora (Hayley Ryanne Tate) and rebellious Violet (Nokomis Leaman-Logsdon), he finds himself swept up in a friendship triangle. This film explores the inevitable burdens of adolescence as well as its hidden virtues.

“Youth” is a dramedy about being a teenager. It’s about love, loss, and being free. It’s about change and escaping and realizing what really matters in the shadow of an intricate adolescent mind. It’s about internal struggle while physically striving to not become a single impression on someone. It’s a story about friendship, and realization. But most importantly, it’s a story about being a kid, and being wild before you can’t anymore. It’s about being a kid and being everything you can before things change.

The film features the collaborative talents of 120 people, including original art by NHS student Hannah Fitzgerald, original music and score from young people from as far as Athens, Greece and as close as Max's hometown of Newtown who graciously donated their time to this project.
