As the school year winds down, consider engaging your students with one last ScreenEd project.
The AFI ScreenNation “Hometown Claim to Fame” Challenge is live and odds are pretty good right now that one of your students can win a Sony HD camcorder package for their 3-5 min video about what is special about their hometown. Deadline for this challenge is June 30th.

Also look for upcoming ScreenNation challenges hosted by celebrities like Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, Rudy) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (Garfield , Ghost Whisperer). And remember, the ScreenNaton LEARN section is a good place to find production tips and tricks videos anytime!

Our friends at the SlickRock Film Festival in Visalia, California have wrapped-up their annual event last week and have submitted some best in show videos to ScreenNation via their ScreenNation channel . Many stand-out films from SlickRock this year include THE FIGHT a very funny homage to silent films produced by students at Sierra High School.

Fresno Christian School submitted JACK’S NOT A DULL BOY, a very creative music-less music video to SlickRock, that shows the real power of editing. Both of these films are featured on the ScreenNation Homepage.
