Film Festival at Stonehill

"Life imitates art far more than art imitates life." - Oscar Wilde.     

This quote could be the theme for some of the films entered into this years Hockomock Film Festival . Several students and residents from Easton, Sharon, Canton, Stoughton and Franklin produced in depth and compelling artistic films about many social issues that affect many students and the population at large. Some of the topics  they chose for their films include teenage pregnancy,homelessness, bullying, dealing with being a transgender, being distracted while driving, and living with a disability. 

They should be recognized for the amount of research and work involved in producing these films. In addition to social issues, students produced clever and insightful music videos and dramas with excellent cinematography, acting and editing. Not all of these students will win an award or follow a career in filmmaking, however they should be commended for the tremendous dedication and time involved in producing their films.

The films will be viewed at 3 p.m. and the awards ceremony is at 5 p.m.at the Martin Center at May 14th. Friends, family and the community  are invited to attend the 10th annual Hockomock Fillm Festival sponsored by North Easton Savings bank.
