20 of our filmmakers have been selected to compete in the AT&T Film Invitational (NYC, Oct 4-9th) for $50,000 in cash and prizes during Festival Week.

4 original Rough Cut films- “Point of No Return”, “Sand Boy”, “Reverb” and “Joining the Session” -are also Official Selections in the All-American HS Film Festival and eligible for individual awards.

Please help us get the word out on this- www.gofundme.com/2p4u7cs -so our rising stars can win some of AT&T’s $50,000 cash and prizes.

As you can imagine, financing 20 kids in NYC for a week is a tall order! Thanks in advance for your support and help in spreading this as far as possible.
