The MAT Program is proud to present its 2nd Annual Student Short Film Festival, The Matties!

Join us Friday, February 24 from 6:00 pm-8:30pm.

This year we are bigger and better than ever!  There will be three indoor screening areas, one for each grade. At the end of the night we will join together in the auditorium for our first award ceremony to announce the winners from each grade and overall “Best of Fest”.

With food, merchandise, raffles, and so many amazing short films, this will be a night to remember for the whole family!
