Not only has Cinequest provided space for the creatives in the film industry but also hosts Hollywood stars, and supports youth and innovators, while engaging a global audience. Powell has empowered youth worldwide with her creation of Picture the Possibilities, a program that encourages creativity through filmmaking. While her main work in San José is through the programs of Cinequest, Powell’s passion is helping artists and innovators locally and internationally.
