Currently, the festival is open to Elk Grove, Prospect and Hersey students.
The festival will feature screenings of selected films and a
“Red Carpet” event highlighting the Finalists of the festival. Monetary and/or filmmaking-related
awards will be given for Best of Show
to be judged by a panel of local professionals, and an Audience Choice Award to be presented to the film voted on by
festival attendees. Additional prizes may be awarded for Best Cinematography, Best Directing and Best Editing.
Students whose films have been selected will be encouraged
to attend. There will be an
exclusive reception held before the evening “Red Carpet Event” so that student
filmmakers can mingle and socialize before the event. This event will be by invitation only.
