Austin Miller was a talented and creative young man who attended the 2006 Project Youth Doc program, part of his inspiration to become a filmmaker. On February 11, 2008 15-year-old Austin was killed while riding his bicycle home from high school in Beaverton.

In memory of Austin and his inimitable spirit, Film Action has established the Austin Miller Scholarship Fund to support other youth attending Film Action's educational programs.

A special showing of the rare youth-created, shot-by-shot remake titled Raiders of the Lost Ark: Adaptation will screen on April 17 & 18. Funds from this screening will benefit the Austin Miller Scholarship Fund. Click here to learn more.
