THE FILM

To celebrate the launch of Amplify: The Campaign For Pomfret School, Pomfret teamed up with Emmy-Award winning video production company Timber + Frame to make a short documentary about three contemporary Pomfret students, told in their own words.

Watch the Trailer.

In the film, we meet MK, the star goalkeeper of the girls varsity soccer team; Kaya, an athlete turned actor; and Linda, an emerging leader who doubts if she is ready to lead.

As their stories unfold, they cast a light on the transformative power of the Pomfret Experience, ultimately revealing the ties that bind the students of today with the generations of alumni who came before them.

When you attend a campaign event, you’ll get the chance to see this film for yourself, surrounded by people who know and love Pomfret as much as you do.

Kaya Horvath ’22

“There is a big difference between fitting in and belonging. At Pomfret, I never felt like I had to pretend to be someone else — it was the greatest feeling. Right from the start, I felt like I belonged. Every day I would wake up and think: I’m here because I want to be here.”

MK Marshall ’22

“My freshman year, fear ruled my life. I wouldn’t talk in class. I was afraid of what other people thought of me. I wouldn’t speak up for myself. I didn’t use my voice. I don’t know what I was scared of. But now, four years later, I know one thing: I’m not afraid anymore.”

Linda Done ’23

“I came to Pomfret because I wanted to experience something different. If I had stayed at home, I would have gone to high school with people who were just like me. But I wanted something more. I wanted to be challenged. We’re navigating prep school. It’s not easy, but it has changed my life.”
