The Battle of the Film Schools™

   Lights, camera, action! We're rolling out the next generation of blockbuster directors  from across our nation's film schools to compete for a national title UNPRECEDENTED in film school and entertainment industry history. Unbelievably, there has never been a national event celebrating the fruits of film education, until now.

 

   The Battle of the Film Schools™ offers a level playing field, whether you are enrolled in one of the famous name programs,  the small boutiques, a vocational film tech program or a community college. Whether your parent is a studio exec, a cashier, a famous Oscar winner or an electrician, batter'up to where the films ride or die on the director's merit. It's winner take all with a  Grand Jury Cash Prize and a one year representation agreement from a major Los Angeles Talent Agency. 

​

Our inaugural event will show the juried finalists, as part of Daytona Beach Arts Fest 2025. Join us on the Coast at Daytona Beach's newly reimagined Beach St, the heart of the Riverfront Arts District. The much-anticipated "Battle of the Film Schools," will cap off the Arts Voco 2025 Season, and show film enthusiasts, the names to watch for in the future! There will also be an "Audience Favorite" award where ticket holders will vote electronically for their #1, and a Screenplay Competition!

​

'May the odds be ever in your favor'. And may the best director, and screenwriter, win.
