Award Winning Films

In both our Digital Media 1/2 and 3/4 courses we build films, moving from scriptwriting to storyboarding to production calendar to filming to editing to sound effects to color matching to finished product.  A single film takes a long time and it often takes many films for you to start getting pretty good at filmmaking and the language of film.  We have been lucky enough over the last few years since the course has started that we have won a number of awards in the United States and internationally.  Included here are some of the films that have won awards at festivals.
