Simple story telling but powerful impact at the end. Fantastic use of notepad as a replacement for texting. It reminded us of the importance of Heart to heart conversations. Incredibly well-told story from a child’s perspective. Gives a clear view of the use of technology/smart phones from the perspective of a non-user who simply wants to engage with her family. This is another very young team who have done a great job here and show the potential to develop even further as competent filmmakers. Simple story telling but powerful impact at the end.

Well done at all points!!! The story came alive very well in the animation segment of the video. Could not imagine this story better told. Through their video production this video became a beautiful project that shows love to one’s town and history. Well done at all points!!!

Heartwarming story that communicates its message clearly through both good acting portrayals and quality camera and sound work. It shows the importance of understanding the mind of the person you have conflicts with.

Well executed Hollywood style movie on a important story about childhood trauma and normalizing therapy. Watching, we can learn the importance of self-love and self-esteem. A fantastic twist at the end. I think the craft levels shown by the students on this team is very admirable. They obviously have a masterful understanding of light, and texture and their shot compositions are very professional looking.

Great story about “waking up” in the nightmare produced by technology. It teaches us the importance of direct communication between people in a digital society. Great directing and good acting performances. Great story about “waking up” in the nightmare produced by technology.

Very informational documentary. Impressive pictures that have brought me closer to the culture of Thailand. A very in-depth research video depicting the history and the symbolism surrounding the elephants. Great use of time and really opened up a different cultural perspective as well as a personal story.
