It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Mosaic Mobile, a short film competition for Michigan high school and college students is back!
Mosaic Mobile challenges the conventions of storytelling, celebrates critical thinking and creativity and empowers students discover the diverse world around them.
Each Mosaic Mobile film requires the use of a theme, prop, and saying. The three requirements are intentionally open-ended to encourage interpretation and creativity.
