Isaac came out of nowhere in 2017. Unlike many of the young filmmakers who submit projects to us throughout high school, their talent maturing with each submission and each year, Isaac only ever submitted one film. It just so happens that this filmmaker from a tiny town in South Carolina, and a tiny school with no film program, created one of the most complete and professional films we have ever received. His film “Journeybound” winner of Best Overall Film in 2017 is a fearless production that dares

AAHSFF '19 alum, Quinn Fluet is our most recent winner of our top award, Best Overall Film, for his insightful and pleasantly delicate story of two teens struggling to connect and come-of-age under the shadow of an imminent alien invasion. The story concept of the film “Ground Control” sounds big, and it is, but what won over our judges was Quinn’s ability to balance the dramatic conflict, subtly focusing both his lens and his broader themes, on complex characters rooted in realism despite the

AAHSFF '13 Alum Emily Cohn was part of our very first festival, all the way back in 2013, and she was a big part of helping us affirm our belief that the future of film was bright and that talented young filmmakers needed our support and recognition. Emily’s early films were full of strong and engaging female characters, navigating complicated relationships and coming of age in a world rife with uncertainty.
