We want you to prove that regardless of age, ability or the equipment you have, that anyone can be a storyteller, and that your story can leave as much of an impact upon the audience as anything else on the silver screen. And using the devices that have led us to become more disconnected, we want the stories you tell to bring communities closer together.
Story
Everybody has a story. We want you to tell yours any way you like.
