Mount Si High School students won first place in the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) 48-Hour Film Off Contest. In this challenge, approximately 30 high school teams competed to make the best possible film, from conception to post-production, in just 48 hours. Congratulations to Mount Si’s Champion Film Team (pictured left to right below): Liann Downs, Roman Medford, Jude Ames, Beckett Brewer and Sam Holmes.
Great job Wildcats on your creativity, teamwork and film skills!
