Shark Attack- What was going on through your head when making this, also what was going through your head when you one the first annual movie festival?

Trent Posey (9) – I was just excited to see what the finished product was going to be, and to see where our hard work came to! Also I couldn’t believe it, I was just happy to think!

In my opinion, everyone did amazing but I would have to say the “Last Stop” would have to be my favorite. The editing was amazing and the acting was great. The special effects helped make believable gun shots. “Aerobic Champions” should’ve came in 3rd in my opinion. They had great actors, although they didn’t quite have enough energy. They had really nice editing just not good ideas. I still feel like they should’ve placed a little higher.

I’ll like to say thank you for all the staff and students for making this event happen. It looked like a great time!
