International Student Film Festival Hollywood
Where the next generation of filmmakers showcase their work

"The International Student Film Festival Hollywood has been a very important part of the growth of our B-TV program. Participating in this festival has elevated the level of our students' work, and has caused our students to re-think what their limitations are in terms of video production. The possibility of having their work shown in Hollywood has caused our students to work harder, to pay closer attention to detail, and to start concentrating on writing original student screenplays. Several of our students are now looking at Video Production as a college major and career. Our students have been inspired and motivated by this contest. With ten selected films and three winners in three years, the students are now constantly trying to improve over the previous year. I am grateful to Robin and the staff for providing this opportunity for high school and middle school kids!"

Q. What are the age and school requirements for entrants?
A. The ISFFH is open to all the student filmmakers of any age or academic background. Students have to provide proof of student ID or current registration.

Q. Can ISFFH waive my submission fee?

A. We recognize the financial difficulties that student filmmakers face, but at this moment operating as a non-profit film festival and this is our first annual festival, the submission fees are necessary for festival costs. But we are seriously considering in the future to find ways to waive the submission fee.

Q. I didn't shoot my work on film. Can I still enter?

A. Yes, you can enter the festival. We do accept video format of student's work.

Q. My film will not be ready by the deadline, so can I send a rough cut now and supply you with a new version later?

A. You have to inform us about your schedule to answer this, at any rate, due to the judging process, ISFFH recommends you do everything you can to get it in on time.

Q. What makes ISFFH different than the other festivals?

Q. Can multiple entries be submitted on one DVD?

A. We recommend that you send your work separately. Each of your works should be represented on its own.
