Well the 4th Annual Student Horror Film Festival was successful again even with a power failure. It takes a lot of time to market, design and develop this festival for the students, but its well worth it. To see the kids faces when they win an award for best film and to hear them scream when they win is just simply excellent. We were fortunate to offer a Best of Show award, which went to Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech, where the students get to spend the day on the set of a horror film being shot in New York City. What kid would not want that prize?
Next year will be our 5th year of promoting this event and we are looking to get all the middle schools and high schools in the Lehigh Valley involved. Parents, teachers this is a great contest that teaches kids about team work, deadlines and gives them a creative outlet. Get involved, become a sponsor, and attend next year’s event. The date is October 9th, 2009.
