The Phantoscope Indiana High School Film Festival
Are you making films in class? In your basement? On the street? With your friends? By yourself? With your dog? Have you ever had to beg your mom or dad to be in one of your films? Bribed your little brother or sister? Yeah, we're talking to you.
Phantoscope is especially for budding filmmakers who are enrolled in high school and live in Indiana. Phantoscope shows a juried program of short films created by Indiana teens annually and features a panel discussion with area industry professionals, along with cash and other prizes. There is a $500 cash prize awarded to the contest's best film.
Phantoscope is a great way to get a bit of exposure in the world of film, and to see which colleges are offering programs designed to make you the best filmmaker you can be.

Filmed in Richmond, the tale follows Derik (Bo Barrett), who's returned home after a decent hiatus in order to deal with some looming issues resulting from a recent personal tragedy. He looks up his old friend Jason (Ben Schmitt), in the hopes of finding both a place to crash and a soul to confide in. But Jason's changed since last they spoke – now a part of a very abnormal and rather foreboding "family" |
