Or what about becoming a stylist to the stars, a movie critic or how about a dancer on Broadway? Get Reel will show you how to break into the industry. The program without a doubt will inspire you to reach your dreams. The very first scholarship winner of Get Reel is reaching hers. Alyssa Wilson used her winning scholarship at NYU Film School after graduating from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn. Get Reel then helped her get an internship at WABC-TV in NY, the number one local news station in the country. After completing that internship, Alyssa traveled abroad, moving to London for an internship at the BBC. Finally returning to New York over the summer to finish her last year at college, Alyssa is now getting a paid internship at the Jimmy Fallon show. We're proud to say that Alyssa is graduating this year! Follow in her footsteps. Get Reel is fun, informative and inspiring, so get your entry submission in by April 3!
Student Registration Rules
Welcome students, parents and teachers! Get Reel is thrilled to invite every high school sophomore, junior and senior in the tri-state area to register for this year’s program. Please note, due to space limitations - competition for this year will truly be its stiffest ever. Students submit your best application possible! Special consideration will be given to those with powerful, open, honest essays with strong commitments to community.
Give Back to Your Community
Every student must complete one day of community service approved by his/her teacher. Please tell us what you did on the registration page. All community service will be verified by your teacher. Failure to complete community service will disqualify your submission. If you need ideas on what to do, please ask your teacher for advise. Some students have turned giving back into an entire school project.
Write an Essay
Every student must complete an essay telling us who they are - why they feel they should be chosen to attend Get Reel - AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - they must share a specific and original idea that, if implemented, could vastly improve either their school, community, hometown, city or state. Failure to incorporate these elements will disqualify submission. Give it to us straight - share your story - your ups - your downs - and the best idea you can imagine! Tell us why we should select you out of the thousands of entries. We highly recommend that you write your essay before you go to the registration page (this will allow you to perfect your essay) then paste your final draft in the space provided. Essays must be 1000 words or less.
