At the present time we do not have any information on which works are world premieres and which are not. We have a few works by USC students and alumni, but we also have works from people with no USC affiliation and people as far away as Eastern Europe. We had sumbissions from all corners of the planet at all levels of experience and training. The screenings on January 28 will prove both ecclectic and exciting. Everyone involved with the festival is a volunteer, and we're all overworked and underpaid in our official capacities at the university.
Any help is appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you. It is best described as a constellation of different events celebrating Southern California in the World and the World in Southern California. See their website for more information. Best Student Work is an additional prize. Being a student does not prevent the entrant from competing for Best of Show or First Prize in their category.
