Pens to Lens started in 2013 as an opportunity for K-12 students to get involved with the local filmmaking community. Over 150 scripts were submitted this year and over 22 short films where selected and produced by local filmmakers. Script submission for the 2015 screenwriting competition will open up on February 1st, 2015, at www.PensToLens.com.
