PUSD Film Festival

Check out a message below from Sarah Landis and Scott Padway, organizers of this year's PUSD Film Festival.... 
Our very own Heejee will have a video featured!

We are excited to announce that our 2nd Annual Film Festival event will be held next Wednesday! We hope you'll join us for this student-centered event that highlights our kids' digital skills and showcases student voices. 

Details here: 

More info on our website HERE!

Also, just a heads up ... 

The street fair is also on June 1st (busy night!) so Main Street is closed. The Firehouse Arts Center parking lot fills up relatively quickly, so it would be wise to park on First and Second Street if possible. 

And ... 

We wanted to be sure and THANK all the teachers and students who participated in this year's event! We had so many submissions that it was hard to determine which films to show. We have a range of elementary through high school videos, and couldn't be any more proud of our students.

PUSD Film Festival

All students are invited to participate in PUSD's 2nd Annual Film Festival! Check out the website, HERE, to learn more about the rules and categories for submissions. Films need to be submitted by May 8th, 2016. All videos need to be uploaded to YouTube. If you are not comfortable having your student upload to YT, I am happy to house their video on my channel.

Good luck and I'd love to see what you all create!

PUSD is hosting their first Short Film Festival. Participation is optional, but check out the links below to get all the details. It is sure to be a fun night of films created by students through the PUSD.

Submissions are due by April 30, 2015.

If any of you end up participating, please make sure you let me know so we can watch your film in class! Remember you can only make one video, so make sure you are 100% happy with it before you submit.
