The festival kicked off with a screening of Laura Waters Hinson’s film As We Forgive, the 2008 winner of the Academy Award for best student documentary. Hinson spoke to the audience by phone conference call just before the screening.<\/p>\n

On the second day of the festival, Taylor offered a slate of free educational workshops for aspiring filmmakers. Workshops included “Acting in Hollywood,” “The Role of the Film Producer,” “Using Art for Social Change,” and “Film Scoring.” This year\u2019s guests of honor were Mateo Messina, Grammy award-winning composer for the soundtrack of Academy Award-winning film Juno<\/em>, Brian Armes, financial manager of the American Film Institute Conservatory and Luke Barnett, Hollywood actor and documentary film producer.<\/p>\n

On the festival’s third day, admissions guests got an inside peak at Taylor’s media communication program with facility tours and opportunities to interact with faculty and students. Finally, the high school film entries were screened at the university president’s home and several received awards for outstanding filmmaking. Imagine screening your film and getting immediate feedback from Hollywood insiders! That was the experience of our high school filmmakers.<\/p>\n
