A great boredom buster for this holiday break for students in Grey Bruce? Make a film!
The second annual Owen Sound Youth Film Festival is looking for submissions from students Grades 7 through 12.
Children and Youth Services Librarian for the Owen Sound Library Nadia Danyluk says this is a great opportunity for youth to show their creativity.
Danyluk says the Library is hosting the event and is looking for Owen Sound students Grades 7 through 12 to submit short films.
The entries must be no longer than 10 minutes and can be live action or animated.
New this year is all of Grey and Bruce can participate, not just Owen Sound students.
Danyluk says the films will then be entered in the festival which will run February 9th to be seen on the big screen at the Galaxy Cinemas.
Danyluk says this is a great opportunity for students to show their work to a larger audience and to be judged by professionals.
The judging panel will consist of three local judges and three judges from the Toronto area all experienced in the film industry.
Danyluk says students can submit either new pieces of work or films they have already made.
Students have until January 7th for their submissions.
Interested applicants can pick up their forms at the library or go to the Owen Sound Library web site for more details.
