Tonya Holloway

"This is an awesome festival for rising young filmmakers. Pegasus gives teens hands-on experience of not only having their work professionally screened but an opportunity to work behind the scenes of a festival. If your teen is interested in the film industry as a career, I highly recommend becoming apart of this festival."
