ARE YOU AN EDUCATOR?
Upload Your Student Film!  Learn How. 

Uploading your student film is a simple process that will expose your students’ work to a huge on-line community of student filmmakers, youth media professionals, and educators.  There are a few rules: 

  • Only educators or youth media professionals may upload their student works.

  • An artist’s statement including information on the film, the students involved, and the school, community center, or after-school program during which the class was taught must accompany each film submitted through the website.

  • Films must be less than 10 minutes in length and may not contain any kind of profanity or adult content.

  • The teacher or youth media professional who submits the student film is solely responsible for securing the required photography waivers from students and parents involved in the creation of the film.

  • The Robinson Film Center reserves the right to refuse to post any video submitted due to content, image quality, sound quality, or other issues.
