Asher Segelken, Orange Lutheran High School junior, remembers being inspired by film for the first time in first grade and since then, all he has wanted to do is tell stories. After facing rejection to several film festivals, Segelken, decided to make his own. He said, “I’ll admit the idea came out of frustration, but since then it’s transformed into a way to bolster up the film culture for the glory of God.”

Christian teens in the Orange County and Los Angeles areas have a specific platform to showcase their films. The Teen Faith Film Festival premieres Saturday, March 7 at the Alexandra Nichita Center for the Arts at Orange Lutheran High School and will feature eight films that were created, directed and shot by high school filmmakers.
