About three months ago, there were three students making short films to be entered in SXSW's Texas High School Short competition. Two of them were your very own AdYouth/Media Proteges, Christian Nelson, and myself, Peter Jiang.

Last week, I received an email regarded my short documentary film, The Game of Ninja. According to this particular email, The Game of Ninja has been selected to be screened at South-by-Southwest (SXSW) as part of the Texas High School Shorts competition! Although Christian's film, 'Paradox of the Intellect,' was unfortunately not selected for screening, this is exciting news for us since The Game of Ninja is 1 out of 19 short films by high schoolers across the state being screened at the huge festival. And I say 'us' because Christian composed an instrumental track that's featured in the short. In addition, I receive a complimentary film badge to attend and participate in film-related activities at SXSW.

The Game of Ninja is a short documentary film about a game we played at my school. Like the title states, the name of the game is "Ninja." The short covers how the students featured in the video came about Ninja, and how to play it.

If you're coming to SXSW and plan on seeing my film, you can see it with a lot of other great high school shorts (which I'm sure they are) at the Carver Museum at 5:00PM on Saturday, March 30th (http://my.sxsw.com/events/event/2201), and at the Alamo Drafthouse on Lamar at 11:30AM on Saturday, March 20th (http://my.sxsw.com/events/event/6521).
