Inclusive film fest OK2BX to debut this April
The first OK2BX Film Festival is set to open April 24 at the Texas Theater. The event will feature short films that honor diversity and inclusivity that have been submitted by high school students nationwide.
Awards will be given in the categories of LGBTQIA+, Smartphone, Diversity, and Animation. “In a world full of divisiveness, the OK2BX Foundation strives to bring people together by encouraging inclusivity at an early age,” Brent Bolding, festival producer and organization founder said in a press release. “Our goal is to give young people a platform to advocate for inclusivity.
These young people are our hope for a brighter future. I know Eleanor would be proud to see the films.” The film festival is an initiative of the OK2BX Foundation, an organization founded by the Bolding family to commemorate their daughter and sister, Eleanor, who took her life in May 2021.
To honor Eleanor’s inclusive personality, the festival will present awards to students who uniquely and artfully demonstrate diversity and inclusivity in the films they have submitted.
