Jacob Kutrakun, Jeremy Eliassen, and Henry Shenk of Ballard High School in Seattle. A student tries to get his friends to leave their computers and video games to come outside and enjoy a world that is looking pretty empty to him. What if he joins them?
This is one of 24 videos featured in the Images of Youth 2007 Video Festival, April 20, 2007. What especially distinguishes these films is the focus on message. All entrants were asked to demonstrate that they have been critically thinking about their subject matter and have used their skills in expressing to their audience what they feel is an important message. Unlike other national youth video festivals, emphasis on message is considered to be more important than the production skills that students demonstrate. Once again, Action for Media Education (AME) would like to thank all our entrants for participating in our festival.
