The Long Beach High School TV Studio Production and IB Film program students recently attended the 19th Annual Locust Valley Film Festival, where they made a powerful impression with their creativity, talent, and hard work.
This year’s festival saw over 300 film submissions from 13 schools across the region. Only 75 films were selected for screening in front of an audience of more than 250 students, making it a highly competitive event. Long Beach is proud to share that 13 of those 75 selected films were created by Long Beach High School students, an impressive achievement that highlights the strength and passion of the school’s media arts program.
Even more exciting, Long Beach students brought home three awards across two competitive categories:
Public Service Announcement Category:
* 1st Place: Helmet Safety by Cathy Maguire
* 3rd Place: Drive Safely by Noam Borenstein, Jake Haft, and Aaron Blau
Trailer Category:
* 3rd Place: Life of the Party (Trailer) by Jake Haft, Ethan Engelson, Aaron Blau, Reilly Sanfillippo, Kasey Brymer, Cathy Maguire, and Sabrina Moy
Congratulations to all the students, teachers, and supporters of the Long Beach High School TV Studio Production and IB Film programs.
