With a staff of 5 to 9 employees, Students Making Films works to support aspiring filmmakers within the local community. Students Making Films focuses its efforts on financing student filmmaking projects, providing scholarships to students pursuing film-related studies, and offering support to McCallum High School's Media Technologies Department.
