Upon completion of the Skills USA Digital Cinema competition it became apparent that when students to go through the same steps of the filmmaking process as professionals, the level of quality was improved.  When this is supported by curriculum, assignments, and assessment, the level of quality increased dramatically.  The competition also made clear where students could improve.   

We are raising the bar by hosting seminars with professionals and running a series of focus driven competitions. This will raise the bar of competition at the state and national competitions, getting our students closer to the industry standard.
