That's what the ASBG did Friday, April 22, at Delta College when they held their First Annual Film Festival.

The hosts of the festival were Pierre Tapia and Arikka Rin; the student filmmakers featured were Christopher Muoio, Sean Kenney, Andrea Meza, Jeffrey Wells, Brandon Goucher and Joe Garcia, Matt Francis, Anthony Mignone, and Ehren Fish; and the judges were Brett Atwood, Sherry Lachin, and Jim Vergara.

The first film was "From There to Here: A Star Wars Legacy," by Christopher Muoio. His film was about directors and designers who work on the Star Wars movies.

Sean Kenney did a film about his desire to be a sports broadcaster, entitled "Through the Eyes of Sean Kenney."

"Only in America," by Andrea Meza, was about immigration and who will be the minorities in years to come.

Magic is an addicting card game, and the theme of Jeffrey Wells' film "Magic Video." This film illustrated how addicting the card game is and featured a brief demonstration of how to play it. During the video he showed a clip from eBay where a card was selling for over $400.

"Delta Impact," done by Brandon Goucher and Joe Garcia, showed what the inside of the Impact office was like on Tuesday, the day the paper is put together.

"The Effects of GUN Violence," a heartfelt film done by Crystal Moore, was about a young man who goes by the name "Insane Wayne," who gets shot in the spine and is paralyzed from the waist down.

Matt Francis, director of "A Snowboarding Documentary," did a film about snowboarding with his friends.

"Glitter Drive," the group everyone loves to hate, according to the film done by Anthony Mignone, concerned a band that wasn't very popular.

After the technical difficulties were fixed, the last film was shown. Directed by Ehren Fish, "No Child Left Behind or No Teacher Left Standing," analyzed the topic of money for schools and the fact that there is not enough space in classrooms for all the students.

Prizes were given out to first and second place winners. First place went to Matt Francis, who won a $500 scholarship, a $10 gift card to Blockbuster Video, and a book on filmmaking. Second place went to Crystal Moore, whose film had to be cut off at the 10-minute mark (her film was longer that the time allotted). She won a $200 scholarship, a $10 Blockbuster Video gift card and a book on filmmaking.

Everyone who participated got a $10 gift card for Blockbuster, and the book on filmmaking.
