GA Film Wins Second Place at Film Now Festival

“Looking at Ambler," a documentary that was created in a Germantown Academy Digital Media class during the 2018-2019 school year won second place in the Documentary Category at the 2020 Film Now Festival. The Film Now Festival is a regional high school festival sponsored by The Ambler Theater.

“Looking at Ambler” was also nominated for the Audience Choice Award. 

The festival and awards ceremony took place virtually on Sunday, May 10 at 7pm.

GA's award is shared by a significant number of individuals, who made this film possible. Special kudos go to GA senior Lina Cahill '20 (script writing, narration, direction) and Digital Media Instructor Dainis Roman (direction, production, creative consultant).

"This film would simply not have been possible without them," said Visual Arts Chair David Love. "GA seniors Isabelle Goldstein '20 and Lindsay Putnam '20 were also super integral, doing substantial animation and narration. Many thanks to all four of these individuals for their impressive efforts and tireless contributions."

In addition, all the students in Mr. Roman’s Digital Media classes and students in all of the other Honors Visual Art classes also played an important role.
