Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, September 21, 2026 —
High school students across South Carolina are invited to participate in the South Carolina Young Filmmakers Project, an initiative designed to foster creative expression through short film production. The program is now accepting submissions from eligible students statewide.
A key requirement for all submissions is the mandatory incorporation of an hourglass as a prop within the film. This element serves as a common thread for all entries in the project.
The deadline for filmmakers to submit their completed short films is set for February 22, 2027. Following the submission period, participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a story conference, which is scheduled to take place in Charleston.
Further details regarding the submission process, eligibility criteria beyond being a high school student, and specific guidelines for the story conference were not immediately available. The project aims to provide a platform for young talent to showcase their filmmaking abilities and storytelling skills.
The South Carolina Young Filmmakers Project is an ongoing initiative aimed at encouraging interest and development in the cinematic arts among the state’s youth. Organizers hope the project will inspire a new generation of filmmakers.
