The Short Filmmaking Project is a groundbreaking documentary project in which youth are invited to share true stories of community education activism that they are involved in. Even as you read this, youth are beginning to collect stories in the form of interviews and short films. The most compelling films will be featured on this website and will be considered for inclusion in an upcoming documentary film.
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
Our Video Contest is now open! Top prize – $500! We are inviting you, the public, to record or document true stories, or create short pieces related to community and education activism. These pieces might be you telling us a story on video, getting a friend or family member to tell a story, a short video showing us some community project that you are doing, or a short film or video on the theme of bullying, girls self-esteem, positive self-image for boys, environmental projects, health & fitness for youth, diabetes, autism, civil rights, interviews of the elders in your community, or any other community enrichment project you wish to use to share your experience of community activism. The only restriction is that all material must be original (you created it), not commercial or licensed material (unless you own the license). Check out all the details under How to Enter Contest.
