November 2024 FilmBoot24 Films
Now in its EIGHTH season, FilmBoot24 is a 24-hour filmMaking boot camp that teams Orange High school students with Drew University students and professional filmmaking mentors to create six short films in just over twenty-four hours. This year we had another great turnout of students on Drew’s campus, and we are so proud to show you what these teams have done as they made their films in just one day! Starting on Friday afternoon, over 50 high school students, college students and professional mentors teamed up to create 6 films by 6 pm on Saturday. This was also the third year that we put together a SPANISH LANGUAGE TEAM (Team 2). Each film had a theme that was tied to their curriculum and each team had to use the same prop, a BOX OF BAND-AIDS, in some way in their film. Watch and enjoy!!
