Original Films
In partnership with the All-American High School Film Festival (AAHSFF), the largest high school film festival in the U.S., we invited high school students across the country to submit a simple film on what red helicopter means to them. A reminder to all on how the wisdom of simple generosity, and the human connectedness it creates, can unlock solutions for seemingly unsolvable “adult” problems.
Congratulations to the three winners of the red helicopter "Short" Category with a $500 cash prize and the two co-winners of the red helicopter "Long" Category and a $750 cash prize.
