COM学生在第36届红石电影节上大放异彩

The 红石电影节, sponsored by 雷石东（1994届议员）, chairman emeritus of 哥伦比亚广播公司 and 维亚康姆, showcases films and screenplays created by undergraduate and graduate students in a COM film, television, or video production class or as a graduate thesis project.

今年的六部入围影片首先由制片、编剧和电影专业毕业生组成的委员会选出。 The final judges consisted of a panel of film industry professionals: filmmaker, casting associate, and actress 莫拉·史密斯（COM ' 13）, cinematographer 保罗·戈德史密斯, and actor, director, and producer 路易斯·惠勒.

Other festival finalists were 丹·贝哈尔（16届）, whose mockumentary-style film Jump is about competitive jump roping; 塔拉·卡瓦诺（2016年）他执导了《More》，讲述了一个在感情界限中挣扎的年轻女性的故事； and Anneliese舍（15届）, whose film Postal features a mailman who falls in love with a woman with agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder that can cause panic attacks and social withdrawal.

The annual $5,000 艾德里安·雪莉制作基金 went to 梅丽莎·贝内特（16届） for her screenplay Butterflies, about a girl who develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after surviving a mass shooting. “我患有焦虑症，就像抑郁症和其他精神健康问题一样，人们认为他们理解，但他们往往不理解。 我希望我的电影能有所帮助，”贝内特说，他刚刚结束了在北卡罗来纳州为期两周的《蝴蝶》制作。 The award is given to a female filmmaker by the Adrienne Shelly Foundation in honor of producer, writer, and actress 雪莱(87), best known for her film The Waitress. （这部电影的音乐剧将于下月在百老汇上映，由托尼奖得主杰西·穆勒（Jessie Mueller）主演。） 2006年，雪莉在她位于纽约的公寓里被谋杀。

The winners of the Fleder-Rosenberg short screenplay contest, sponsored by screenwriters 加里·弗莱德（85届） and 斯科特·罗森伯格（85届）, were also announced at the festival. First prize of $1,500 went to 露西·Gamades（17届） for We Need to Talk; second prize of $1,000 was awarded to 劳拉·门德尔松（劳拉Mendelzon， 17届） for All for a Few Weeks with a View; and third prize of $750 was won by 克莱尔·詹宁斯（18届，中科院18届）, for Uno, Due, Tre.
