Jane Noury is a model, filmmaker, and actor based out of Sparta, NJ. Noticed at a young age by a modeling agency, Jane quickly became captivated by the process, creativity, technology, fashion and discipline that the industry requires. Jane is equally comfortable in front of the camera, as she is behind it and this unique talent affords her an advantage in collaborating with professionals on a production set.

2022/03/21

Hudson’s gifts as storyteller humbled us. His three films, “Fork, Knife and Chainsaw” (a half horror/half dark comedy), “Death By Handshake” (an introspective pandemic comedy epitomizing and embracing his NYC roots) and “Friday” (a hyper-relevant, teen tour-de-force rich in depth of character, conflict, an immersive range of emotion, attention to delivery, and the elusive x-factor… the ability to marry message and merit and the artistic bridge that helps us all travel to a place of profound

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/04/22

There is no end to the praise I have for Morgana’s talents, except to say that what I have witnessed is surely just the beginning, and I should use my words sparingly because no doubt there will be many more opportunities to commend her considerable gifts as she continues to pursue her passion. And what passion it is! Morgana made the most of her All American eligibility, submitting exemplary productions over four consecutive years from 2014 to 2017 while earning consistent award nominations as

The Future of Film S2:EP10 - Lance Oppenheim

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/04/15

We knew that Lance Oppenheim was a gifted storyteller from the moment his first submissions arrived in 2014. His two documentaries that year, “The Dogmatic” and “Quicksand” illuminated a remarkably grounded and resonant cinematic voice - a voice capable of harnessing the inherent emotional weight of his subjects regardless of their topical diversity. Both docs leave considerable scars on the viewer, at times delicately intimate, at others, exposed and invading, but regardless of their tone,

The Future of Film S2:EP9 - Monica Matute

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/04/08

I’ve gotten to know Monica pretty well over the years, in large part, due to what I now recognize as her incredible passion for all things filmmaking and an unrelenting hustle to make her dreams a reality. During her years of eligibility with All American, I seemed to run into Monica everywhere - conventions in various states around the country, during traveling roadshow presentations that were hours away from her home, and in the plethora of projects she submitted (although behind the camera, she

The Future of Film S2:EP8 - William Higbie

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/04/01

When William submitted his documentary “Painting the Town: The Street Art of Detroit” in 2018, it was an immediate contender. To quote an interview from the film... “Opportunity exists when you’ve hit the bottom… And optimism brews when there is no other option but to be optimistic.” The first images offered in the Doc confront the viewer with the harsh reality of a fallen American city. A series of stark, snow-covered and vacant homes, businesses and factories set the stage for a story about

The Future of Film S2:EP7 - Clio Givertz

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/03/25

Clio burst onto the All American scene with her outstanding 2015 and 2016 Official Selections, “Stranded” and “Congratulations Abigail”- the former a riveting drama about a young dancer traumatized by failure and insecurity as she travels to a competition that consumes and overwhelms her entire physical and psychological universe. The film earned her our Best Cinematography Award for its striking imagery of a desolate setting that aptly reflects and supports the protagonist’s character and conflict

The Future of Film S2:EP6 - Gabe Gaurano

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/03/18

Gabe’s talents earned him several category nominations and our Best Drama award in 2018. His restrained and heartwarming film, “DV-130” conquered our most competitive category with its mature sensibility and perspective, character-driven emotional core, and subtle, but purposeful, layers of conflict. A “DV-130” is the official legal document representing a domestic violence protection order - a protection that typically ends when the individual turns 18 years old. In the film, we meet the

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/03/11

Dig deep in the credits of some of our best submissions from the last few years, and you will find the name Roxy Sorkin again and again. A constant collaborator with her peers, Roxy seems poised for anything: fueled by her limitless potential and an insatiable desire to create. As a writer and director, Roxy is equally impressive. Her 2019 submission “We Don’t Talk” won our Best Music Video award recognizing her ability to illuminate patient imagery reflecting glamorous settings somehow full of an

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/03/04

I stared at my computer screen for a long time thinking about what to say about Lukas Dong… thinking about how to craft an appropriate narrative for a filmmaker so integral to our organization’s belief in the future of film, a filmmaker so immensely… innately talented, so destined to make a profound impact, and yet so humble, gracious and giving... so incredibly respectful and professional even as the young man we first met back in 2013… How could I possibly articulate this All American OG so that

The Future of Film S2:EP3 - Ciara Boniface

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/02/25

At just 21 years old, Ciara already boasts the kind of resume dreams are made of… But a closer look reveals a relentless work ethic and passion for genre-shifting storytelling at the core of her success. She’s the writer and director of 16 short films with considerable experience in both independent cinema and commercial projects. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of North Texas, she transitioned to Los Angeles where she works as a freelance cinematographer creating music videos

The Future of Film S2:EP2 - Leo Pfeifer

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/02/18

Throughout high school, Leo was a prolific submitter of top tier content, consistently producing a diverse array of stories focused on subjects and characters entrenched in highly personal, but instantly universal conflicts. His films always earned high scores from our judges, regardless of genre, because he possessed an innate understanding of how to focus his lens on the little details that help illuminate a larger, more complex journey. Leo’s work as a director and editor is deceptively (and

The Future of Film S2:EP1 - Dusan Brown

The Future of Film with Tom Oliva ·

2021/02/11

Dusan is a Chicago native who has been living in LA for the last ten years, honing his skills as an actor, writer and director. His resume is incredibly impressive, prompting us to break our protocol for only interviewing AAHSFF alumni who have already graduated high school, in order to explore his wealth of experience and striking talent. So what does an 18-year-old’s impressive resume look like? Consider these credits… acting in the Jackie Robinson film “42” and CAP, a short film that won the 2019
