The Inspire USA Foundation is pleased to announce the 2009 Real to Reel National Film Competition for filmmakers who are teens and young adults aged 16 ­ 24. Films will need to address the types of emotionally tough times that teens and young adults face and be no more than 3 minutes in length. Our focus is not as much on the story of the tough time as it is on how someone navigated that tough time. The competition is now open. Films may be submitted until midnight Pacific Time on June 30, 2009. @NetHappenings #K12Newsletters #arts
