Ballard High short films to be featured at NFFTY

Students in the Ballard High School Video Production Program will have ten short films shown at the fifth annual National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY). NFFTY is the brainchild of Ballard grad Jesse Harris (’04) who started this festival in 2007. The prestigious festival showcases work by filmmakers age 22 and younger. A jury of professional filmmakers sifted through nearly 700 entries from the United States and 40 other countries.
