Auburn Morrow wrote a letter to the judges of her senior project at Creekview High School. For her project, she wrote, produced, and directed her own original short film to explore the film industry and her interest in being a young adult novelist. Through her research and experience making the short film, she learned about the challenges independent filmmakers face from illegal downloading hurting their ability to earn money from their work. Though there were obstacles during the writing, planning, casting, and filming stages, she was able to complete her project. However, after learning more about the film industry, she now plans to pursue her dream of being a young adult novelist by attending college first at either North Georgia State University or Kennesaw State
