THE CONTEST

Each year, Scenarios USA asks young people to write about the issues that shape their lives for the annual "What's the REAL DEAL?" Writing Contest Program.

Last year, thousands of teens from around the country responded with their raw and revealing insights. The four winning writers were partnered with some of Hollywood's finest filmmakers to transform their stories into award-winning short films.

After months of hard work, these four films have made their debut!
