Entries will be judged by a panel of Greg Evans (creator of the comic Luann and member of S.M. Arts Council); Dr. Meryl Goldberg (Professor of Visual and Performing Arts at CSUSM and Executive Director of "Center ARTES"); Dan Bennet (film critic for North County Times); Jacob Angelo and Nick Zynda (local filmmakers and programming directors for the S.M. Civic Center Screen). Certificates of Recognition will be given to the top films in the genres of comedy, drama, action/adventure, documentary, and art/conceptual, with cash prizes of $125, $100 and $75 awarded to the top three films.
Entries will be shown on the outdoor 30ft screen at the Civic Center Plaza. Mike McDonald, owner and developer of the center, endorses this event as an artistic community outlet. "We created the outside stage and large screen to bring visual and live events to the mini-urban park within the Civic Center Plaza. The Student Film Festival is a great way to provide a public venue for creative students to share their work with the broader public."
The previous festival had 15 entries, and organizers hope to double that number this year. Last year's winners were selected based upon execution and concept as well as professionalism, with the first three places in each grade category receiving trophies and cash prizes. Lia Bruce took first place in the high school category for her film, "Il Portiere." Jorge Marcial took first place for college for his film, "El Boleto Ganador." Judges Dr. Meryl Goldberg and Wayne Weiboldt each awarded a film with special recognition, Stephen Sprague's "Letters From Within" and Christian Motos' "Cancer Angel," respectively.
San Marcos is in a unique position to host this festival as it has two colleges with full fledged and award winning film, television and multimedia departments (Palomar and CSUSM). Additionally, the city is home to both High Tech High School and a High Tech Middle School which focus on multimedia and technology driven students, and borders Oceanside, home to Mira Costa College, as well as Escondido, which hosts a yearly "Escondido Youth Media Festival."
