The Fortuna High Photo & Design program proudly presents Racing Home, a student-produced short film that combines action, drama, and suspense into an entertaining original production created by Fortuna High students.

The film follows Kyle King as he navigates conflict with bullies, unexpected confrontations, and the challenges of high school life. As tensions rise and situations escalate, Kyle must find the determination to overcome obstacles and stay focused on what matters most. Filled with action, humor, and memorable moments, the project provided students with the opportunity to create a complete narrative film from concept to final edit.

Students were involved in every stage of production, including:

The project served as a hands-on learning experience in storytelling, scene composition, camera techniques, continuity, and collaborative filmmaking.
