Harrison wins competition

Multimedia Specialist Nick Harrison participated in the second annual 52 Film Festival. This event challenges participants to create a short film within 52 hours for a chance to win awards. Nick and his team wrote, filmed and edited their video in time for the screening held at the Wallace Theater on March 5.

Congratulate Nick the next time you see him! He and his team won Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and the Vital Voice and Vision A. Pearson Prize. Nick’s team included Amy Harrison, Erin

Taylor and Sullivan Perry.

“It was challenging, but we had a lot of fun and we learned a lot throughout the weekend. I think I got about five hours of sleep during the competition and that was all on Friday night,” said Nick. “We worked through the night on Saturday to get the film edited and submitted by the deadline on Sunday.”

Later this year, Nick will compete again at the Highland Horrorfest. We wish him all the best in the next competition.
