A group of 35 Native youth, ages 13 to 18, are making four films on the "fly" for the upcoming Seattle International Film Festival.

The youth are part of Native Lens, a project mostly funded by the Swinomish Tribe. They will head to the reservation to make four short films based on a special script written by renowned author and filmmaker Sherman Alexie.

The four films will then be screened as part of the FutureWave youth series at the film festival.
