Cell Phone Film Festival At G-Star Hits New Heights!

PALM SPRINGS, FL (12/1/2015) – The First Annual Cell Phone Film Festival for Middle School Students has been a smashing success!  Students learned to write a script, shoot their film, and then edit with special effects.  The competition targeted Palm Beach County middle school students who have an interest in film, both in front of and behind the camera. Students could not contain their excitement and parents were raving about the incredible time had by all saying, “The kids had an amazing experience, we can’t wait to see their work!”  The event was free to attend and required no prior experience in the field. 

Their final films have been sent to the judges who include Bobby Moresco, Academy Award winning co-writer and producer of CRASH and Million Dollar Baby; Jeff Davis, Producer of Rock of Ages starring Tom Cruise and Legally Blond on Broadway; Crescenzo Notarile, Emmy Award winning cinematographer of CSI: Crime Scene Investigations and Gotham; and writer/producer Arthur Bernstein whose film Walt Before Mickey is in theaters now.
