Congratulations 2026 DBFF Best Texas High School Short Winner: "A Game of Chess" By Trentin Youngblood Harris and Mason Triche; 2026 DBFF Best Texas High School Short Runner Up: "Spilled Coffee" by Jireh White
Sixteen-year-old Shayla Cambray endures relentless bullying at school, quietly absorbing the cruelty of her tormentors while authority figures dismiss her pain. At home, her grandfather Papa offers guidance—and a cherished family charm—urging her to channel her emotions rather than let them silence her. When a humiliating confrontation pushes Shayla to her breaking point, she finally speaks her name with force and conviction, triggering surreal moments that reflect her reclaimed power. As the tables turn and her bullies are held accountable, Shayla’s confidence blossoms. By day’s end, she walks home and into herself with pride, joyfully affirming her identity and voice—on her own terms.
