Collaboration…A Short Film Contest
The award winning, Collaboration…A Short Film Contest groups together teams of six and provides an opportunity for them to compete for recognition, prizes and a chance at distribution of a feature length film based on an associated script competition.

Acorn Project
The Acorn Project is a three part program for high school students, some of whom are at-risk, which begins with entry into the short film contest and continues through a mentoring program followed by an internship opportunity. The Project allows students to benefit from the skill and expertise of the many professionals in our community who wish to help insure that the future of our local workforce remains strong and solid.
Music Video Challenge
The Music Video Challenge was designed to uncover and showcase local music talent to industry executives who might help further their careers much in the same way that the short film contest has spawned several careers. Profession-boosting prizes encourage emerging talent to compete at the highest level.
