After a long three days of hard work during the Film Invitational we got to relax and have fun. On Friday night after the Invitational was over we got to attend the opening party for the All American High School Film Festival at Planet Hollywood. We spent the night dancing and laughing. On Saturday (October 10) we attended the first day of film screenings at the AMC Theatre in Times Square. My Action Sports film "Pavement" was an Official Selection. Being able to watch something I created on the big screen was surreal. I felt so lucky to have that opportunity and share the experience with others who are very close to me. That night we came back to the theatre after dinner and we watched the best films of the festival. On Sunday the film screenings continued and we got to watch "Aberration" the film we created while being in New York. Thinking back to a year ago when I attended the All American High School Film Festival for the first time I realized how much my classmates and I have improved. Being seated in the theatre watching "Aberration" made me feel really proud. After watching our film and attending the college fair we attended the Teen Indie Awards that took place at the Kings Theatre. Overall, the whole trip was a great learning experience and it is something I will always be grateful for.
