Congratulations to Jessica Ramirez on her acceptance into the Atlanta Underground Film Festival’s “Shorts by Women.” Jessica’s animation, “The Sunflower,” will be screened Friday, August 22, at 6:30 p.m. in the Youngblood theatre at the festival. The 2-minute animation short was created in the style of Lotte Reiniger, an early 20th Century German filmmaker, and is comprised of silhouette shapes photographed in stop-motion style on a light table, with custom-created music by Michael Bollero. Congratulations to Jessica!

The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is teaming up with Apple to provide college students across the United States with the opportunity to share how they define freedom.  Teams of college students can create and submit a short video (3 minutes or less) expressing the qualities, importance, and impact of freedom in their lives, today.

Through their submissions, students will connect with people around the world to share their ideas about Freedom and become facilitators in a very important, global dialogue concerning some of society’s most critical issues. Creating Freedom Awareness—at a time when we need it most—is, perhaps, the 21st Century’s greatest challenge.
Please let faculty- and student directly- know about this amazing opportunity. 

The deadline for teams to register for the contest is July 6th. Thanks for getting out the word in the next week.
