WAGGA WAGGA FILM FESTIVAL
Congratulations to the two KPS Tech teams who had their short films, ‘Our Children, Our Future' and ‘The Future is Bright, Bright is the Future' selected to be shown in the Wagga Waggafest Film Festival. An amazing number of parents and students attended the evening last week at the Wagga Civic Theatre. The students spent a lot of their own time writing scripts, songs, filming and editing around the theme for this year's festival, The Best Is Yet To Come.
‘The Future is Bright, Bright is the Future' won the overall award for Best Original Score. Mayor Mr Rod Kendall presented the cheque for $500 and trophy, congratulating the students on their creativity and acting skills. Jaime Esler, Lily Stein, Lara Rossiter, Amelia Caller and Molly Moorby wrote the lyrics for the song, ‘Change' . Students then sang the track and also performed the music. What talented students!
Both films are now available to be viewed at the Wagga Waggafest website. It is then up to the public to vote for their favourite film and a prize of $500.

Amelia Caller; "It's amazing to have won this award two years in a row. Being on stage and being interviewed was a thrill but nerve-racking."
