Last year students from John B. Connally High School's Video Technology class in Austin, TX made history when they became the first high school in the entire United States to successfully produce a film that got accepted into the Cannes Film Festival in France. Along with getting the film accepted, six students from the class were able to travel to Cannes, France and attend the festival.

This year, that Cannes Project continues, with some changes. The project has branched out from Connally and is including all the other high schools in the Pflugerville Independent School District. As well as, joining together as a single unit, the project has moved up from just an after school program to its own non-profit called: Cinema Du Cannes.

Students from all the high schools are gathering together as one to make this project happen again this year. Under the direction of recently graduated high school alumni, they are beginning again, to change the world.
