Off to Chicago
Wow, wow and wow! A huge tip of the hat to Makyla, her film “Flowers and Love” which she made during our spring class was selected to screen at the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival Often reffered to as the “Cannes for Kids” this festival is the most prestigious fest in the US for kid work with adult and youth filmmakers comming from around the world, and is the only kid festival which is a qualifier for the Academy Awards. Makyla combined live film with still 35mm images editing in Final Cut Pro and composing and playing the piano for the piece. She and her family will head out for the festival in late October and be particpating in workshops and other events. “Flowers and Love” will be screened next in Portland as a part of tiny tba, a children’s component of the TBA festival.
