The Phantoscope High School Film Festival
Are you making films in class? In your basement? On the street? By yourself? With your friends? Have you ever had to beg your mom or dad to be in one of your films? Bribed your little brother or sister? We're talking to you!
Phantoscope is especially for budding filmmakers who are high school students. Phantoscope shows a juried program of short films created by Mid-Western 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.

PRESS RELEASE
EVENT: 4th Annual Phantoscope High School Film Festival
VENUE: RICHMOND ART MUSEUM
350 Hub Etchison Parkway
Richmond, Indiana 47374

ADMISSION: $5 General Public / $3 RAM Members
The Richmond Art Museum is pleased to announce the Fourth Annual Phantoscope High School Film Festival, featuring the work of teen filmmakers from across Indiana and Ohio
Phantoscope is a juried short film competition for high school age students. A panel of experts evaluates the submitted films and awards prized based on merit. Students get the opportunity to ask questions and listen to film experts talk about getting started in film and discuss the “how to” questions so many novices have when pursuing an artform.
At the festival screening, one talented young filmmaker will win a $500 cash prize. The winning film will be announced at the screening. Student filmmakers from Lowell to Evansville and all parts in between will have their works shown. This year, additional prizes for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing will be given.
Each year Phantoscope continues to grow as more and more high school filmmakers become aware. This year we have expanded our entry radius to include Ohio high school students in hope that more young people will take advantage of this unique opportunity.
Brian McGuffog, a junior at Hamilton Southeastern High School wrote to RAM saying, “This is an incredible opportunity. It is very hard to find opportunities for filmmakers in Indiana, let alone high-schoolers, so it is really awesome that you consider our demographic as well…Good luck in your ventures into helping all of us teens reach our dream.”
Phantoscope is open to the public, and anyone interested in film or who wants to watch a line up of creative and interesting short films is encouraged to attend!

Screenings are held the last Friday of each month, September through June. There is no film in December.

As an accomplished author, she and classmate Joe, who was a playwright at Julliard, are working on developing the book into a TV series for Warner Brothers. They have presented the ½ hour format and have been asked to resubmit it as a 1 hour show. Charlie Sheen, brother to Ramon and Emilio Estevez has asked to produce the show.
To celebrate Jennifer’s return to Richmond to promote her book, RAM has partnered with the Richmond High School Alumni Association to show Jennifer’s favorite 80s film, St. Elmo’s Fire starring Emilio Esteves, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. The film will play at RAM in McGuire Memorial Hall at 7 PM. Join Jennifer and Joe as we enjoy this beloved 80s film.
