After a week of film showings the WHS Film Festival concluded with another fabulous red carpet awards night. The film "Alby" was the big winner overall snagging 5 of the possible 9 awards including the award for best film. Jackie Gately who wrote, directed and starred in the film, took home the award for best actor and Caleb Cofsky won for best supporting actor in the film. The coveted "Best Faculty Performance" was awarded to Mr. O'Malley for his portrayal in the superhero movie, "The Wombat."
The goal of the Film Festival is to give the students of Walpole High the artistic avenue of film as an outlet for them to enhance their talents in screenwriting, film production, film directing, film editing, on-screen acting, music composition, and art direction. The Film Festival gives these students a forum to showcase these talents before the student body and community. - www.whsfilfmestival.com
Some of the initial funding for the WHS Film Festival was provided by a grant from the Walpole Technology and Innovation Foundation. Over the past decade, support has come from generous donations from families as well as sponsorships from local businesses in the community.
