We are thrilled to announce that YPC’s documentary film has been selected to be screened at the Urban Film Festival in Miami, Florida. The Urban Film Festival is dedicated to educating, exposing, and providing distribution opportunities for the new generation of filmmakers. At UFF, we celebrate culturally driven content and serve as a platform for up-and-coming urban filmmakers to share the stories of their communities.

YPC’s documentary film has received an official selection laurel and will have a public screening on August 31 at the Dorsey Library Screen 2. We invite you to join us at this exciting event if you are in the Miami area to celebrate the creative and professional growth of the new generation of filmmakers.

This Time Round explores the many facets of the extended COVID-19 pandemic’s intense emotional toll—fear, isolation, sadness and hopefulness—as experienced through the eyes of the young choristers and accomplished composers of YPC. This film features commissions from 15 of today’s renowned composers – including Paquito D’Rivera, Aneesa Folds, David Lang and Paola Prestini – and the voices of nearly 600 choristers who recorded themselves during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown.
