It was an amazing night for the students who participated in 2017 Councilman Mitchel Englander's "Making Movies that Matter" grant program on Wednesday, May 24th, 2017. The program culminated with a red-carpet film festival at the Valley Performing Arts Center at California State University of Northridge. This was our second year to participate in the MMtM grant program and our first year to win for one of our student created movies. This year the video titled, "OMG, Is that a Tornado?", won for Outstanding Public Service Announcement by Elementary School Students. All the students climbed up on stage before the audience to receive their medals and the award trophy. We were also thrilled that all of our five submitted movies made it to the final run-off for outstanding movies in their category: two for Public Service Announcements, one for Animated Sort, and two for Fictional Short.
The MMtM program met for two days after school allowing students to learn about movie production with the aid of a professional in the industry. Vintage was fortunate to have Mrs. Molly Hansen Pritts as our artist-in-residence. Students learned about formulating script ideas, framing shots, using an iPhone to video their movies, doing voice overs, editing, using iMovie, and much more. Mrs. Pritts was assisted by staff members, Mrs. Stone from the Computer Lab and Mrs. Buck, a 4th grade teacher.

We also would like to thank Mrs. Pritts and Mr. Rubine (District Director for Council District 12 in Councilman Englander's office) for all their hard work, patience, and support with the Making Movies that Matter program.
