Weekend Project: Calling Teen Documentarians in U.S.

, , , ,

This one's for all the teens out there with nothing to do this weekend. AFIScreenNation is teaming up with YMCA Y-Arts for a contest called TEENDOCS. The top three films will be screened at the AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs International Documentary Conference held in June 2010 in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The task is simple (sort of): make a video about something you have an emotional interest in.

Outside of that, visit TEENDOCS.com for the official rules, but right here, right now you should also know that:

- It's open to all 13- to 19-year-olds living in the U.S.
- The films must be 10 minutes or less
- You must upload your film to YouTube, and then submit the link to your film at TEENDOCS.com
- You may enter as many films as you wish
- Films are due by May 1, 2010

For inspiration, check out some of the powerful films submitted by teens so far, as well as the "how-to" videos on the AFIScreenNation channel:
