Teen Faith Film Festival

I submitted to this festival for the first time during my Junior year of high school. I was impressed with the organization of the event and how hard everyone worked to make a classy, professional festival at a high school level. This festival showed me that I actually had a future as a filmmaker, and I found a lot of encouragement from the student leaders and judges. This is a young festival from a relatively new film program, but with more entries and community participation, it is sure to reach the status of any well-established film festival. The great thing about Orange Lutheran and the students that run the festival is that they are big dreamers who are always looking to expand upon their hard work to make the festival better with each year. I highly recommend this festival to any high school filmmaker who is looking for exposure and the chance to see their work on the big screen. The TFFF gives filmmakers the opportunity to find out who they can become in their craft. Submitting to this festival was one of the best things I've ever done for my artwork.

The students hosting the event were very organized and did a great job at the event. I would not submit again. And I would not recommend this film festival. They could improve this event by brining in outside judges. This felt more like an exclusive Orange Lutheran H.S. event. There were no networking opportunities and judges were teachers from the host school.
