I'm proud to announce that the action shorts from the Fresh Films program have premiered online- go, watch and vote for your favorite. My students in the action program got a real writers' room experience- writing fast, on the fly, short deadlines and with everchanging input from producers and sponsors alike- just like they would if they worked on a television series.

And this year, our sponsor for action was the National Guard- our teen filmmakers got to go incredible places with the Guard's input! Check the films out- and remember- every time you vote, you register yourself to win a fab trip to LA, all expenses paid! So what are you waiting for? Watch, vote and win!
