With a record number of applicants, the selection process for 8 slots was very competitive.

These talented budding filmmakers will meet all summer at the Foundation office, learning to shoot and edit. Their finished documentaries will be packaged into a DVD and premiere at the 9th Annual San Diego Asian Film Festival, October 9-16, 2008.
- The Reel Voices Project is a paid documentary filmmaking internship for San Diego-area high school students. Over the summer, Reel Voices interns will work with fellow students and professional filmmakers to produce, edit and promote their own short documentaries. Each student receives $500 upon completion of their film, which is then showcased at our annual film festival in October.
 "I came away with a greater understanding and appreciation for filmmaking and storytelling in general. The opportunities that SDAFF gives you are unbelievable. Through my internship, I met some of the most prominent Asian American filmmakers and actors that are on screen today, I came out of the internship with a film that I'm proud of and has already been accepted into other major festivals across the country. This internship more than anything cemented my passion to become a filmmaker and I would honestly say that this experience was one of the major reasons I got into film school. If you want to become a filmmaker or just love filmmaking. . .DO REEL VOICES, YOU'LL LOVE IT!"
- Adam Lee, 2007 Reel Voices Intern
