November 2020 FilmBoot24 Films
This year we had a completely VIRTUAL FilmBoot24!! Five teams of students and filmmaking mentors worked on ZOOM and other platforms to create these fantastic films in just 24-hours during our November 2020 FilmBoot24!! Each film had a theme drawn at random that was tied to their curriculum and each team had to use a Broom or a Mop in some way in their film.
