High school students from the Los Angeles County area can submit their short films for the Third Annual Los Angeles Student Media Festival (LAMSF) through Jan. 16, 2013.
LASMF is the only film festival intended solely for high school students in Southern California. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 16 and the festival is slated for March 30, 2013, at the El Portal Theatre in the NoHo Arts District.
Organizers are looking for original pieces created by high school students that do not exceed seven minutes in length. Student work in the animation, comedy, commercial, drama or documentary / PSA category may be submitted and the winner in each category will win recognition as well as exciting prizes to help further their careers in cinema. In addition, the team or filmmaker that takes the top, “Best of Show” award, will also win a $1,000 scholarship.
“Each year, we are treated to wondrous artistic achievements of high school students from every corner of Los Angeles,” said Councilmember Paul Krekorian, who created the festival as a member of the State Assembly. “Last year, we received about 200 more submissions than in 2011 and expect more greatness this year as students continue to make us laugh, cry and delve into the emotional depth they are uniquely capable of achieving.”
Last year, LASMF received nearly 300 submission with the final 32 works screened at the historic El Portal Theatre at which the winners were announced. Click here for a complete list of guidelines and more details on how to apply.
