The Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival came to a close late Saturday night and my documentary “The Art of Life” received the Silver Eddy Award for student documentary. I couldn’t be more proud of my documentary at this moment. This being my first attempt at a movie of any kind, I didn’t expect much to happen, but now with its success it leaves me with a feeling energy and wanting to learn more. I’d like to thank all of the great people that made this festival happen for selecting my film and giving me this award.
I received many comments on my film from audience members and from the directors of the festival. As a student filmmaker from little Perry, Iowa who is a Sophmore at Loras College in Dubuque, I feel very much a part of this “independent festival.” I would have never of dreamed 2 years ago that I would have the knowledge I do now to create anything I set my mind too. It’s a great feeling.
