  • 2011 Teen short Film Contest Red Carpet Event

    Date: 2011.06.27 | Category: Events, TIC, Teen Short Film Contest | Response: 1

    The 2011 Philip S. Miller Teen Short Film Contest Red Carpet Event was a big success thanks to all of our filmmakers, their families, our amazing sponsors, and everyone who attended.  We had 113 people in the audience eating fantastic sandwiches donated by Sprouts.  The short films were funny, scary, exciting, and entertaining.  It was difficult to choose the winners, because there where so many excellent entries.  The crowd voted and while volunteers and staff tallied the ballots, the audience got to see a preview of the new Transformers movie, “Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon”.  They also watched a trailer by a local film maker and got some information about the upcoming Castle Rock Film Festival. Finally the ballots were totaled and the winners were announced.  Congratulations to all of our filmmakers; you are all talented and your work was excellent!
