Plane Tickets: Student Filmmakers and Profile Events

plane tickets: One of the higher profile events for student filmmakers in North America, the festival fielded 5,000 submissions from 40 countries, according to Vancouver Courier. The bad news revolves around extremely tight timelines. First, the good news four films produced by students in Templeton secondary's Afterschool Film Program have been accepted into the prestigious All American High School Film Festival in early October. The films were accepted in late August, the week before school started. The money being raised will cover plane tickets and partial accommodation costs. Getting 18 students to New York City costs roughly 13,000, a figure that needed to be raised in five weeks.A Go Fund Me campaign was launched in the days after the films were accepted, and roughly 9,000 had been garnered as of Sept. 19.
