The project for the quarter will be participation in a short film festival. Students must write, shoot, and edit a short film and submit it to one of the festivals below, or another festival or competition upon teacher approval. Students are responsible for learning the entry guidelines for their selected festivals, meet deadlines, and show proof of entry.

Every aspect (video, music, images, graphics, etc.) of the film must be original.

All projects must have a comprehensive pre-production plan (treatment, script, & storyboard).

By submitting your film to a festival, you are reaching a global audience. Your work should reflect your unique perspectives, be your best effort, and most importantly, make a statement.

Withoutabox.com has a comprehensive list of film festivals currently accepting submissions. In addition, check out the following:
