This is occuring in a "first world" of plenty. We ran a short film contest to challenge young filmmakers to show us how this plays out in their communities across the US. We got some very thoughtfully conceived and honest work submitted. The public (that means you) can vote for the top 6 films until Dec 4. Then a panel of judges will choose the top 3 which will receive cash prizes. Please come and see these filmmakers work and vote for your favorite. You can vote once per day. Thanks for reading!
