Festival Details

The St. Vrain Valley Student Film Festival is a chance for local high school and middle school students to share their unique story and perspective. It is intended to create a platform for students to share their voice. Don’t keep your voices, or your films, hidden. Share your story!

Film Categories

Film(s) may be submitted in one or more of the following categories:

Action/Sports: This category is for films that concentrate on action — think skateboarding, dance, mountain biking, etc.

Animation: Can be digital animation, stop motion, or drawn animation

Comedy: Emphasizing humor, this film is intended to make the audience laugh

Documentary: A nonfiction story intended to instruct, educate or historically record

Drama: This category is about the story and is a narrative intended to be more serious than humorous (Includes horror films; please review #6 in the submission guidelines before submitting)

Experimental: This category is for films that experiment with filmmaking and can be done in filming or in post production

Middle School: Any submission by a middle school student

Selection and Screening

A selection committee will view films and choose which films will move on to judging. The selected entries will be screened by the judges who will score each film based on a common rubric. These scores will then be brought to the festival and averaged with the audience voting to calculate a first, second and third place winner in each category. Winning films will receive an award.
