Lights. Camera. Education!




The First-EVER White House Student Film Festival. Deadline is January 29, 2014!

Lights. Camera. Education!

Are you a student filmmaker? Know someone who is?

We want your help.

If you're a student, we want you to make a short film -- and have the chance to show it right here at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the first-ever White House Student Film Festival. If you're a parent or a friend, pass this on to a student you know.

The topic? Technology in classrooms. There's huge power in what technology can do for education -- from taking a course online, to collaborating with students from across the country (or the world!).

We're looking for awesome student filmmakers to show the power of technology in classrooms in a short film.



But hurry! You've only got until January 29th to send in your submission. So if it's going to get "two thumbs up," you'd better start now.
