Kids In The Spotlight

Empowering Foster Youth Through Filmmaking

Since 2009, Kids In The Spotlight (KITS) has created over 80 films with more than 750 youth from foster care,

where they are given full agency to tell their stories, their way, by writing, casting & starring in their own
short films. Then, each year culminates in our annual KITS Film Awards, the first Saturday of November,
celebrating their films on the silver screen in our version of the Academy Awards.

You can make an impact for the youth we serve by watching their films on our KITS Channel on IndieFlix!
