SHORT DOCUMENTARY
DTP (Document the Process) is a documentary-style competition within the NJFAME Film League that challenges students to capture real learning, real problem-solving, and real growth on camera.
Instead of telling a fictional story, students document a journey—from identifying a problem or goal, to exploring solutions, taking action, and reflecting on outcomes. The final film becomes a powerful record of how change happens, told through student voices and authentic moments.
DTP celebrates process over perfection, emphasizing reflection, iteration, teamwork, and critical thinking—core skills in both education and real-world careers.

SHORT FILM
This year’s NJFAME theme, “Stories That Shape Us,” invites students to create short films—using only a cell phone—that reflect identity, values, and growth. Students will choose from three core concepts aligned with New Jersey’s STEAM, literacy, and SEL standards. Film entries must be under 15 minutes
