Award Winning Contest Films – 2020
These award winning films were produced by students attending various schools in Leon County, ranging from a 2nd grader to a high school senior. For most of the students, the films are their first attempts at filmmaking. So, please keep that in mind as you view the films. We, the Contest managers and film judges, are impressed with the overall quality of the films and look forward to the filmmakers’ future films.
If you wish to congratulate or encourage one or all these filmmaking students, please send your comments to the email address below. Please identify the student film(s) on which you are commenting. Thank you and enjoy the films!
