PHILLYCAM'S TRACK RECORD AND INFRASTRUCTURE - STUDIOS, EQUIPMENT, CABLE TV AND RADIO PLATFORMS - POSITION IT TO ADVANCE AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING AND HELP BUILD A MORE REPRESENTATIVE MEDIA ECOSYSTEM. BORN OUT OF A 27 YEAR STRUGGLE TO MAKE PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION A REALITY IN PHILADELPHIA, PHILLYCAM IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT RESTS FIRMLY ON THE SHOULDERS OF A COALITION OF ARTISTS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, ACTIVISTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUPS WHO FOUGHT HARD FOR THE CREATION OF A NEW SPACE WITHIN WHICH PEOPLE CAN OPENLY EXCHANGE CREATIVE FORMS OF EXPRESSION AND LIFE EXPERIENCES THROUGH MEDIA. IN 2008, PHILLYCAM WAS DESIGNATED BY THE CITY TO OPERATE ITS PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION STATION TO PROVIDE ALL PHILADELPHIANS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AND SHARE MEDIA.

IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS, OVER 8,000 PEOPLE HAVE ATTENDED EVENTS IN PHILLYCAM'S FACILITY FROM SCREENINGS TO NETWORKING EVENTS. PHILLYCAM HAS EMERGED AS A HUB OF ACTIVITY CELEBRATING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF YOUTH MEDIA MAKERS IN ALL FORMS AND THEIR EDUCATION PROGRAMS HAVE TRAINED OVER 500 PEOPLE IN VIDEO PRODUCTION.
