Behind the Lens Film Festival

Behind the Lens Film Festival

Congratulations to a select group of LCMS filmmakers, who were chosen as finalists in the fourth annual "Behind the Lens Film Festival," held at WTHS on Thursday, April 25th, 2019. The Festival is open to students throughout the Philadelphia area, and we nearly swept the Middle School category. Props were offered to all, particularly Sam, grade 7, who earned an award of merit for his production of "Escape."

It was a great celebration of creativity. Each student is responsible for the full production of the film; the script, camera operation, audio equipment, editing, and the list goes on! One minute of film was equal to about ten hours of work. That's a lot of brain power and cooperation! Outstanding job by all!

Below are links to this year's submissions!
