[STN-Affiliates] 24 hour film

[Kolbo, Keith S.]

We just participated in what I would call a suicide mission.  We entered the Orlando 24 Hour Film Festival.  I am proud that my team managed to pull it off, but because we did it as an official school event on campus, it was a brutal process. We had 16 members on our team and we worked to make sure that everyone was busy with the project as much or the time as possible.

I have posted our film at http://intheoz.com/vids

We were beat by our friends across town, WolfTV at Timber Creek.  Their film can be viewed at www.filmcrush.com<http://www.filmcrush.com/> under 24 hour.  Our film is there as well but due to technical problems it doesn't work correctly so ours is best viewed on our site.

This was about the best thing that I have done for my students this year.  My students are mostly low income.  They are generally not well read and do not have a lot of classic stories like fairy tales or religious tales in their memory.  They also have limited time outside of school due to work and duties watching siblings.  By doing this project they cold get through the whole project in one event that they could coordinate.  They also were motivated to watch lots of short stories.  They also got to see the top 24 films at the red carpet screening.  They came away with lots of ideas and with a lot of insight into the process.  It was months of education crammed into one day.

If you have a similar situation with your students and you have a death wish, I suggest you enter one of these and see the difference that it can make.
