The program culminated in a film festival held at CSUN at the Valley Performing Arts Center. There were about 150 videos submitted to the Making Movies that Matter Festival that was held Wednesday, May 30th, 2018. The competition was stiff so it was with great pride that Vintage took home a trophy for their public service announcement animated video called Burning Information. They also submitted an action video featuring called Please Say It is Fiction! To learn more Councilman Mitch Englander's Making Movies that Matter program clicking here.
Fourth graders: Tesza, Janice, Jayla, Nadia, Jungah, Kassandra, Keira, Nia, Bianka Joshia, Mateo, Riziel and fifth graders: Angel, Bethany, Colton, Francisco, Lillie, Mark, Mia, Rebekah, Sebastian, Enrique, Jasmine, Natalia should be very proud of all their hard work and time they put into writing scripts, making props, videoing, editing, sound effects, voice overs, and paying careful attention to the lessons of the artist in residence. Congratulations to everyone involved.
