Student Film Project

Green Living Project is excited to present the biannual Student Film Project, a unique filmmaking competition encouraging students to get directly involved with innovative storytelling and filmmaking around important local and global sustainability issues.

In 5 minutes or less, we want your short film to tell a unique, creative, and compelling story about a local or global sustainability-related project. For ideas about topics, style and storytelling, we suggest you watch previous Student Film Project winners and check out Green Living Project’s sustainability-related videos online on our resources page along with the tips and links listed. Sample sustainability topics include wildlife conservation, sustainable food, resource conservation, community development, renewable energy, sustainability-related education, and sustainable travel and tourism.

Spring 2012 submission deadline: May 25, 2012

Awards: Winning films for the Spring 2012 Student Film Project will be screened at Green Living Project’s “Washington D.C. Film Premiere” on May 31st. Student winners will also receive prize packages up to a $1,500 value from our sponsors including Patagonia Footwear, Mountainsmith, Manfrotto, Sigg, Think Tank Photo, Office Depot and The North Face.
