Hi All!
Another day, another blog entry.
Things are crazy around here! We’re laying out the May issue, and already collecting submissions for the June issue - our last one for the school year. But no worries - we’ll be back in school in August and around town right after school starts up after summer break. If you want to help out with the paper over the summer, let me know!
The much anticipated Palm Beach International Film Festival gets underway this Thursday, and runs through April 16th. During this week, celebrities, national media, directors, filmmakers and many others associated with the film industry will be right here in PBC, debuting 140 films and projects. One of the many highlights, as always, is the Student Showcase of Films (SSOF), which has become one of the most prestigious competitions for Florida student filmmakers.
The juried statewide competition recognizes outstanding high school and college students in Florida by presenting over $25,000 in cash awards, prizes and scholarships. (Hey - that’s a lot of $$$$!!) For those interested in attending, The SSOF awards ceremony will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at Palm Beach Community College’s Lake Worth Campus, Duncan Theatre, at 10 AM. To see what schools and students in the area are entered into the competition, and for more information in general, check out pbfilm.com.
What’s neat about the Festival for us, is that we’ll get to interview some of the actors, writers and even directors who will be attending the Festival events this year, and you’ll get to ‘meet’ them in the June issue of Today’s Teen.
Hope you guys are enjoying your Spring Break. While you’re relaxing we’re still busy at work perfecting the new site. We do appreciate all of your compliments and suggestions, so please keep them coming, and please, get with the program and upload your stuff!!
Write On!
