About
What this is.
High School Filmmakers is a network for students making movies right now. Not someday. Now.
The network
Most high school filmmakers are the only one at their school. HSF exists to fix that. We connect you with actors, crew, editors and composers your age, and we track the internships, programs, festivals and tips that help you make the next thing better.
From the founder
“Hey, I’m James Murphy. I’m 16, I make movies, and I started High School Filmmakers because finding a crew is the hardest part of making a film when you’re in high school. You can write the script and storyboard every shot, but you can’t shoot alone — you need a DP, actors, somebody to hold the boom. Nobody hands you that network at our age, so I built it. Post your project, find your people, and go make the movie.”
— James Murphy, founder, 16
What this is not
We're not a festival, a distributor or a competition. Nobody here is judging your film or charging you to be seen. The point is the people: once you have a crew, everything else follows.
