Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand has made a new short film for Tribeca Studios about exploring identity with her 4 1/2 year old daughter Theo. Theo has been a mainstay of YNY’s kids program, and a few of the scenes in the film– entitled “Absolutely No Spitting”– were shot at YNY in December 2018.
