Our History

In 2011, four high school film production teachers saw a need for their students. There were very few, if any, opportunities for student filmmakers to showcase their original films in a theatrical setting.  Furthermore, none of them were free or offered curricular guidance. 

So, together, these four teachers developed the 10 Day Film Challenge where students are guided, through curriculum, for 10 days of competitive filmmaking in order to produce an original short film. This event culminated in a free theatrical screening of the top films. In 2011, 280 students participated in 3 New Jersey high schools.  

In 2015, the 10 Day Film Challenge will impact more than 3,000 students in over 100 high schools throughout 15 states.  There is, no doubt, a need for this type of event for students and teachers.
