We are thrilled to celebrate one of our outstanding students, Haynen Young, who has been accepted to the 2026 Short Film Camp! This exciting opportunity only once a year at University of Arkansas Pulaski Tech in North Little Rock.
During this incredible week, students will collaborate with peers and learn from industry professionals in the world of filmmaking. This year’s camp will feature Joey Travolta of Inclusion Films and his team, who will guide students as they create a short film and a public service announcement.
