People Power Media Fest is back!
This year taking place over 4 super-charged days from Friday, October 20 through Monday, October 23.
#PPMFest is about showcasing creativity that vibrates through the PhillyCAM network and the impact that reverberates, supporting historically marginalized communities with access to equipment, facilities, training, support and a distribution platform to amplify their voices.
Celebrate and connect with a community of media shakers, content innovators, and neighborhood storytellers.
