Jones County Film Festival

While attending the GaETC a few weeks ago, I went to a class called Lights, Camera, Film Festival. The instructor explained how their school district hosts a film festival, which showcases the student's best videos for that year. The school system has a theme (last year, Georgia On My Mind) each year to create a unique video production within their location and grade level and each school has a coach to help them with their production. At the conclusion of the year the videos are judged and they have a night of fan-fare and dress-up for the Academy Awards at their fine arts center. Five videos are chosen from each grade level (elementry, middle and high school) and the winners receive little Oscars. What a great way to showcase the student-produced videos.
