Somewhere in Louisiana right now, there's a kid with a story no one else can tell.

Not a kid from a big city or a school with a full arts program. Just a kid with something to say — and no platform to say it.

Film Prize Junior Louisiana exists to change that.

Because the stories that don't get told are the ones we need most.

Put a pin in this one, teachers. 📌

If you've ever thought about bringing filmmaking into your classroom or after-school program — Film Prize Junior Louisiana wants to make it happen with you.

Students in grades 5–12 write, direct, and premiere their own short films on the big screen. No film experience needed. We walk you through every step.

Over 5,000 students. 120+ schools. 500+ films. And counting.
When you're ready to learn more about the 2026–2027 school year, we'll be here. 🎬

Kelly, Amy, & Rachael had a fantastic time connecting with educators from across Louisiana at the Teacher Leader Summit in New Orleans! 🎬✨
We loved sharing how Film Prize Junior empowers students to tell their stories through filmmaking and bringing the excitement of the program to new classrooms. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat—we can't wait to see the creativity this school year brings!

🚨 A few spots are still available in our FREE Summer Intensive Program for Shreveport/Bossier area high school students, so we're extending the application deadline to June 12!

Hey Teacher Producers, if you’re at the Teacher Leader Summit this week, come and visit Rachael & Kelly at Booth 520 at the Education Expo!
