Latest News: The committee is please to award the 2014 Justin Amorratanasuchad Scholarship to Raven Two Feathers of Ballard High School. Get to know about the young filmmaker here. 

Justin continued to inspire his professors and student colleagues at Emerson College.

[Talking about his projects] brought out the best in me and left me with a shared sense of vitality for the creative possibilities of not just filmmaking but of a life fully lived. I say now, with complete sincerity, that Justin accomplished more in his 21 years than most people do in a lifetime. He followed his dreams and put all of himself into the fulfillment of those dreams. He created amazing work and lived an inspired and inspiring life. All of us as creative entities know how hard all of this is, but we have an opportunity in our lives to continue to create in his honor, to take from his life inspiration and motivation to persevere through our own challenges and to overcome our own obstacles. It is a profound gift he has given me and I will be forever grateful for it. Paul Turano, Artist in Residence Visual and Media Arts Emerson College

To honor the creative energy Justin brought to the world, his family and friends have established a scholarship fund for advanced studies in film and television. It will provide assistance to graduates of Puget Sound area high school video production programs who have the talent but need financial assistance to pursue their dreams, like Justin. Contributions to the fund may be made at the Alliance for Education site. For press inquiries, please contact JustinMemorial at gmail dot com.
