DON’T MISS NEW SHORTS FROM BALLARD’S AWARD-WINNING FILMMAKERS!

Everyone is invited to a screening of new work by students in the Ballard High School Digital Filmmaking Program.  The Ballard Film Festival (BFF) will be on Saturday, February 10 at 7 pm in the Ballard High School auditorium.  The screening will feature short comedies and dramas, advertisements, and documentaries.  Tickets ($10 for adults and $5 for students) will be sold at the door. 

Films that first screen at the BFF are frequently honored by film festivals.  BHS film students hit the ground running this fall with eight Official Selections in the international All American High School Film Festival, four national nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, three winners at Fresh Film Northwest, the premiere of their documentary at the Pacific Science Center IMAX, and a top prize from the National YoungArts Foundation.

Funds raised will benefit students in the Digital Filmmaking Program.  This year, a dozen film students will travel to Los Angeles to visit prestigious college film production programs, tour the industry, and meet with professional filmmakers.  Your support helps make trips such as this possible for any student in the program.
