Here are links to the student films, featuring the FOUR Grand Jury Prize winners as chosen by judges at the Young Filmmakers Track screening on Sunday, March 24th from at The Woodland in Maplewood, NJ. Each Grand Jury winning film received a check for $150. [Note: because of the enormous number of submissions in the Narrative Short category, we gave out TWO Grand Jury Prizes in that category.]
Following these three films are links to ALL the FINALISTS (Honorable Mention and Storyteller Citation links to follow.)
