Submit to Masque & Gavel/DGS Drama Film Festival!

Picture
We are sponsoring a Student Film Festival this spring and we want you! Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to get as many of those stories as possible on film so that we can share them with our school and our community. You don’t need any experience - just a phone or camera and an idea. The specifics can be found on this Info Flyer, but here are the basics:
  • Who can submit a film: ANY DGS student
  • Who can be in your film: Anyone of any age, including you 
  • How long the film can be: Up to 5 minutes
  • What kind of film can be submitted: Any kind! Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi, Documentary, etc. 
  • How you put your film together: Use any program you want! WeVideo is easy and great for putting film clips together and adding music, words, etc.
  • Submit your film (and optional “making of”/ behind the scenes) by using this link.
  • Films are eligible for prizes.
  • Also, consider making your film about racial healing so you can submit it to the No Malice Film Contest.

This is a great opportunity for you and your friends to create something fun and meaningful and participate in our DGS extracurricular community. We hope to see your films on the big screen soon - the submission deadline is Friday, April 16. We will hold an official screening of the films on Saturday, May 8th!

Please contact Mr. Haywood or Ms. Rubin with any questions.
