Digital Storytelling
Film Festival

A theater is filled with seated movie-goers. There is a movie screen showing a still of various illustrations of Girl Scouts and filmmaking equipment and the words, "Girl Scouts of Western Washington Film Festival."

Girl Scouts of Western Washington Film Festival

Come watch Girl Scout-made films and enjoy in-person digital storytelling workshops at this event in partnership with the Seattle International Film Festival and the Museum of Popular Culture. You’ll learn about video production, storyboard writing, and how to pursue a career in the media.
