Step inside the magic of youth filmmaking with on F1RST2KNOW as we sit down with Gulliver and Christine Parascandolo, owners of Parallel Media and founders of the Youth Film Program. From 9-year-olds crafting sci-fi epics to teens directing fairy-tale adventures, this hands-on program takes students through pitching, writing, shooting, acting, editing, and premiering their own original films—ending in a nearly sold-out red-carpet event at Harkins Theatre.
The founders share how the program builds confidence, teaches collaboration, and gives students real studio experience using professional equipment, Hollywood-level visual effects, and mentorship from award-winning filmmakers. They dive into season highlights, community support, the program’s expansion for 2026, and how parents and local creatives can get involved.
Whether your child dreams of being in front of the camera or behind it, this episode shows how creativity, storytelling, and confidence come to life in Prescott’s thriving youth film community.
