Steeltown Film Factory Event

Steeltown's 4th Annual Film Factory Event
The Steeltown Film Factory is a mentorship program and filmmaking competition. For this nationally recognized competition, some of the film industry’s top professionals help demystify the business while giving talented new artists the opportunity to develop a screenplay and produce a short film with an award of up to $30,000. The event includes the premiere screening of this year’s winner:
The Perils of Growing Up Flat Chested
This coming-of-age story features Katya, a-16-year old girl who is determined to improve her bust size before a study date with her “nerdy but cool” science lab partner. It stars Irene Choi, featured on NBC’s Community as Asian Annie. The short feature film was written and directed by CMU graduate, Yulin Kuang, the 2012 Film Factory recipient of the Ellen Weiss Kander Award.
Besides this special screening there is a panel discussion on Pittsburgh’s burgeoning entertainment industry. Previous panelists have included the creative minds behind such projects as Precious, Avatar, 300, Good Will Hunting, Two and A Half Men, MTV’s Made, Ice Age and many more.
