 James Cameron wannabes take note. The Arizona Student Film Festival gave out awards and showed the winners on the big screen at Harkins Valley Art Theatre in Tempe. The contest is open to third graders to college students. This year a contest category of public serviice annouuncements(PSA) open to grades 3-12 focused on water conservation. The contest also includes short films, videos and documentaries.
Four fifth-graders, pictured here in a still from their video, from Tesseract School won first prize and the grand prize in the grades 3-5 category for their PSA Options about conserving water while brushing teeth. Hannah Goldberg, Brij Kathuria, Gabby Vatistas and Sydney Zuiback under the supervision of teacher Ted Strickland wrote, shot, edited and acted in by the students.
Next year students may want to think about a Sci-fi, 3D CG-heavy project as that seems to be very popular. Options video by Tesseract students. |
