American Film Showcase (a collaboration between the US Department of State and USC School of Cinema) is a part of Amman International Film Festival in Amman, Jordan.

Miriam Cutler has returned from the American Film Showcase program in Amman, Jordan.

Over the course of 3 days as part of the Amman International Film Festival, AFS is part of US Embassy Programming with lead filmmakers and composers. Miriam participated in a 3-hour workshop at Luminous College with SAE audio students, which included a mix of musicians, audio engineers, and other technical students. Afterwards, she went to The National Center for Culture and Arts (NCCA) to speak at a Masterclass on Storytelling through Music and Cinematography. Those in attendance were all were NCCA-PAS storytelling participants ranging in ages from elementary school to high school.

Miriam got a chance to experience Amman's dynamic city culture and ate an amazing array of food! She looks forward to visiting again sometime!
