Spy Hop's 25th Birthday Celebrations
Organised by Spy HopSpy Hop is old enough to rent a car! This fall, we invite you to throw a Spy Hop Birthday Party to celebrate 25 years of youth media with food, fun, and friends.
Story
For 25 amazing years, Spy Hop has mentored thousands of young artists, with alums changing the world in Utah and beyond. We started as just a film program. We now rock film, music, audio, and design, all for free (Spy Hop actually gives our apprentices stipends!). This fall, we invite you to throw a Spy Hop Birthday Party as part of our celebrations!
Whether you're throwing a chill watch party with your closest friends or a rager that lasts all night long, we're excited to see how you make your vision come to life! All we ask is that you share some youth-created media and send any money you raise back to Spy Hop.
