 "Free 4 all Film and Animation Fest" is the initiative of the Fairfax Academy's Professional Graphics Studio and in conjunction with MHz NETWORK "National Shortie Awards" to sponsor a FCPS community-wide high school student film and animation festival. The idea was to have a venue for local student filmmakers and animators to see and share the work of others. It is hoped that the festival will highlight the best of our FCPS high school student filmmakers and animators and give opportunity to view the creativity and skill of young filmmakers and animators as it expands to other counties over the years. Please join us on May 16th from 4:30 - 6:30pm at the FHS Auditorium. For more information visit our website at www.thefree4all.org
 Academy Day in New York City:
More than 220 students and 30 plus adults spent a professional development day in New York City on March 28. Each of NINE Academy programs had their own individualized itinerary. Students took advanced workshops at the New York Film Academy taught by professional film artists, master classes in Dance taught by Broadway dancers, and a master class in Auditioning led by a Broadway actor. In addition, they had behind the scenes tours of NBC and CBS news studios; toured exhibits at the MOMA, FIT and Metropolitan Museums; visited professional Photographers at their studios; toured the UN, Koreatown & Chinatown; met with a Broadway Set Designer; visited Graphic Designers at Arnold Worldwide; and saw three different Broadway shows. It was a long, but VERY memorable 24 hour day!
