The latest round of the Film Prize Junior New Mexico competition, which showcases the works of rural and Native American middle and high school students, launched in Albuquerque.

In New Mexico, the annual Film Prize Junior student film festival is bringing life to the film-making aspirations of rural and Native American middle and high school students.

Navajo teen Megan James won awards last spring in both the High School Drama and High School Grand Prize categories for her short film"Deprived." The story follows a young man who is overwhelmed by an over-consumption of bad news.While the short film's main character is played by James' brother, it was her own experiences being overwhelmed by the news that initially inspired the project.

"All the media that you see, be aware that it's happening but also at the same time the thing that truly matters the most out of our life is family, home and love," James said."Deprived" was one of 17 films from young Indigenous filmmakers at the 2023 festival. This year marked a triumph for increased visibility in Native and rural student-made movies.

"My film is called"Sister of The Circle: A Black Girl's Journey Through the Land of Enchantment." It's basically a film just to showcase that Black girls, we're all diverse, you know, we're all different."Jaiya lives in a part of the state known as the"enchanted circle," and she often feels left out of that circle.
