BHS VIDEO STUDENTS WIN FESTIVAL HONORS

Four works by Ballard High School Video Production students will receive certificates for Outstanding Video Production at the Images of Youth 2010 Video Festival. Knitting by Amelia Elizalde, Rikke Heinecke, Ashleigh Klemetson & Ryan Zemke, is a Public Service Announcement for the Ballard NW Senior Center. Loose Change by Emma Hutchison, Georgia Peck & Alex Scheller, is a PSA for Real Change. The short film Manimal by Levi Friedman, Matthew Law-Phipps, Esther Magasis & Ryan Zemke, imagines the future of filmmaking once screenwriters have been entirely replaced by marketing experts. The final work, a PSA for the Teen Health Center, is Swine Flu Apocalypse, by John Christensen, Conner Jarvie & Matt Law-Phipps.

These productions, along with others receiving Outstanding Video Production certificates, will be screened at the Images of Youth Video Festival on Thursday, March 25 at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center at 7 pm.
