Two local students took first place last weekend for a film they created as part of the Mountain View-Los Altos School District’s Freestyle program.
The film, submitted to the Bay Area Social Issues Documentary Film Contest, won Natalie Hon of Los Altos High and Emily Munos of Mountain View High the top prize, beating out more than 300 other entries. The winning film, titled “Art Works,” profiles the Imagine Bus Project, an arts nonprofit dedicated to serving inner-city youth.
“Art Works” was screened at the Century Cinema in downtown San Jose, along with nine other semifinalist projects. A panel made up of TV and film industry professionals judged the films. In addition to their first place title, the students walked away with a $10,000 prize to split with the Imagine Bus Project and Freestyle.
Two other Freestyle students, Natalie Rich and Jules Walton, received an honorable mention and sixth place finish for their film “Service to the World.”
