The 5th Annual Rough Cut Film Festival creates a platform for original content produced by high school, university and independent filmmakers within the Philadelphia region. A truly dynamic community of industry partners has formed around this movement to discover and celebrate the next generation of media makers in our city. Live performances by School of Rock, PYPM- Philly Youth Poetry Movement, and Philly Young Playwrights, will compliment our announcement of over $300,000 in recurring university scholarships, professional internships, extended cinematic arts education and filmmaking prize packages.
