The BCPS Film Palooza is a student run film festival made by students for students! Any student in bcps can submit no matter their school or if they're a filmmaker. Submissions get the opportunity to have their work judged by Carver Alumni and winners get their work critiqued by professionals in the film/tv industry (as well as some of our very own Carver faculty)! Our focus is to foster student works and creativity so we can continue to make and see great work!
