2011 Finalists and Award Winners!
On February 27th at 2:30 PM, we rolled out the (metaphorical) red carpet at the Rave Motion Pictures for the 8th annual Teen Filmmaker Festival! The finalists’ films were screened at this special event (open to movie fans of all ages). Audience members had their chance to vote for a People’s Choice award, and there were plenty of movie snacks!
