The Frontera Film Festival was founded in 2010 by C.C.Winn High School Media Technology teacher Jessie F. Fuentes to help fill a void that was not being fulfilled for students who enjoyed digital short film production in a competitive manner. The festival entries have grown exponentially from the first festival which had 16 short films to

2014’s record 185 entries.

The Frontera Film Festival Pub (publicity) Tour gives students from Eagle Pass Independent Digital Production classes and opportunity to venture out on a collaborative effort to reach out personally to other school districts throughout the region and invite them to experience the amazing and exciting things that are occurring within the realm of digital short film production in the Eagle Pass (INDIE)pendent School District. 

(Tour dates: March 1, 2, 3, 2015 - Visiting John D. Connally H.S. in Pflugerville , Cedar Creek H.S. in Bastrop, South San High School, Harlandale H.S., McCollum H.S. in San Antonio )

The Tour takes students from EPISD on a whirlwind tour of other Digital Media Production classes, not only to make a professional presentation at these particular high schools, but to invite them to submit entries and to visit the festival when it occurs in the middle of May. The students that travel on this fascinating journey of knowledge and networking capabilities are required to be at their best.

The presentation involves students using their talent and skills in communications. They are required to prepare a professional presentation that is 45-60 minutes long / and will involve several aspects of Apple Technology, i.e. smart phones, iPads, MacBook Pro Laptop, Quicktime Software, Final Cut Pro Professional Editing Software, Keynote Presentation Software, along with the talents of several musically inclined guitar performances.
