Carly Wolff is a senior in high school. Her first film, "The Truth About Domestic Violence," was a five-minute documentary created to raise awareness and help prevent domestic violence. This short film was screened at numerous film festivals across the country.

She created a four-minute film about censorship titled "If This is the Will of God...Who Needs God?" This film won second place and $500 in the National Coalition Against Censorship's "Free Speech and Democracy Film Contest." She recently extended the film to create a seven-minute version which is featured below. This version won a National Student Television Award for Excellence 2005 in the documentary division (NY Region).
