Continuing their winning streak since fall, students in Ballard’s Digital Filmmaking Program scored two more awards for their work. The documentary 9066 by Nolan Baker, Maya Konz, Bailey Wall and Kajsa Woolford was named a CINE Golden Eagle Finalist for Youth Documentary. The student producers were invited to a CINE Celebrates reception in New York.
The
Golden Eagle awards honor excellence in media production through criteria
focused on storytelling, originality, and meeting the needs of the intended
audience. For six decades, the Council
on International Non-theatrical Events (CINE) has recognized and encouraged new
talent while honoring the achievements of established media makers. Their honorary board of directors includes
such luminaries as Ken Burns, Bill Moyers, and Steven Spielberg.
Also
during the fall semester, City’Scape by Jonathan Bowers, Brendan
Hickey, and Gracie Morris won 2nd Prize in the Experimental category
at the Philadelphia Youth Film Festival.
Tom Myers of Skywalker Sound led the jury for the Experimental category.
