“What Gregory Pellerito understands so well — and what he conveys so authentically — is the idea that adolescence is a collection of moments, not sweeping epics. That bittersweet tension — between holding onto the past and moving inevitably into the future — permeates every scene.” – Flight Deck Film Festival
“Gregory Pellerito has given us a gift — a film that not only reminds us what it feels like to be young, but what it means to grow up with grace, even when it hurts. I left the theater feeling nostalgic, hopeful, and — perhaps most importantly — grateful. Grateful that in a world moving so fast, someone cared enough to slow it down just long enough to hold these moments up to the light.” – Flight Deck Film Festival
“Moments of Youth represents independent filmmaking at its most powerful – bringing together distinct voices, multiple generations of artist, and raw, honest humanity.” – Macoproject Film Festival
“John Farley’s presence adds a meaningful legacy and authenticity to the film’s emotional core.” – Macoproject Film Festival
“From intimate sets to bold, creative reflections, this feature celebrates more than a film – it celebrates risk, collaboration, and a genuine love for cinema.” – Macoproject Film Festival
