The South Carolina Film Commission and Trident Technical College have announced the finalists for their 2025 South Carolina Young Filmmakers Project!

Each of these two-minute short films were created by South Carolina high school students and will be shown on the big screen at a special event on April 26 at 3pm at Spotlight Cinemas Capital 8 Theater in Columbia.

Over 90 films were entered, and each was required to use a flashlight as a prop as the creative challenge. A panel of judges reviewed and scored all projects to determine the finalists and winners.

The Young Filmmakers Finalists Screening is free and open to the public! The program will include Q&A with the filmmakers and announcement of the winners, as well as a reception immediately following.
