Welcome to the home of the

New Hampshire Media Teachers Group

ATTN Teachers/media professionals:

Hello New Hampshire! Hope everyone is having a great summer. We are looking for volunteers to help plan and execute the 2025 New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival. You do not have to be a teacher or work in education. We need help with a variety of tasks throughout the year and can assign tasks based on your skillset/time obligation. We won't say no to anyone who is willing to help out. We are looking for people who are organized and passionate about supporting young filmmakers in New Hampshire. The festival cannot run without the support and help of the committee. If this is something you could potentially be interested in, please email Aleesha Pinkham at aleesha.pinkham@sau57.org for more details!

Congratulations to 2024 Award Winners!
