- This year SDAFF is partnering up with ARTS (A Reason To Survive) to present the 2009 Reel Voices. Reel Voices is an intense summer program, designed to empower high school students by teaching them the value, techniques and art of digital storytelling. . Over 12 weeks, Reel Voices interns 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 premieres at our annual film festival in October.
- The Reel Voices Project cultivates teenagers into more confident, thoughtful, and accomplished media artists. This program enhances critical thinking skills and provides interns with a direct avenue for employment and higher education. The SDAFF reaches our goals through a rich curriculum featuring video production workshops, media literacy classes, reporting assignments, community screenings, film festivals and advisement from professionals and educators.
 "I came away with a greater understanding and appreciation for filmmaking and storytelling. The opportunities that SDAFF gives you are unbelievable. Through my internship, I met some of the most prominent Asian American filmmakers and actors on screen today, I came out of the internship with a film that I'm proud of and has already been screened at major festivals across the country. This internship cemented my passion to become a filmmaker and 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!"
