As the largest high school film festival in the country, competition is fierce. Our students were selected from a massive pool of over 2,500 entries from across the United States and around the world. Having seven projects recognized on this global stage is an unbelievable achievement!
Representing the Warrior Weekly Staff
We are especially proud of our Warrior Weekly staff. In a stunning showcase of teamwork and talent, almost every single member of the crew has their work featured in this year’s festival lineup. This milestone highlights our students' dedication to impactful storytelling and cinematic excellence.
Screening in Times Square
The selected films will be screened at the AMC Theater in Times Square from October 16–18. The festival will wrap up with a final awards ceremony on Sunday, October 18th, where the winners will be announced.
