Two years ago community members and an Indigenous youth empowerment media collective called “Outta Your Backpack Media” (OYBM) came together with a vision to establish a space that cultivates active resistance to capitalism, environmental & social injustices in and around our community of Flagstaff. Since then Taala Hooghan infoshop has hosted all ages shows, film screenings of hard to find political movies, the Free Free Market, silkscreening, D.I.Y. art skill shares, and provided meeting and event space for other organizations. OYBM has worked with more than 300 youth and produced dozens of short films at free youth workshops, some of which have been screened nationally and internationally at film festivals.

12/29/08 – Outta Your Backpack Media (OYBMedia) has released a DVD of 19 short films made by Indigenous youth.

The videos in this compilation were almost all made during our 2007-2008 workshops. Some of the videos were made in 6 hours, some in 4 days by folks that had never had previous experience.

All proceeds from the sales of this DVD will go directly back into Outta Your Backpack Media’s efforts to empower Indigenous Youth!

Purchase OYBMedia Vol. 2 at Taala Hooghan Infoshop in Flagstaff, AZ or at online at Filmbaby.com for 12.99!
