The Michigan Interscholastic Press Association today announced the winners of its 2015 2-Week Film Challenge.
Students had two weeks to complete a fictional or documentary short film of no more than five minutes. Each entry had to fit this year’s theme of “JOY!” and was required to include a soccer ball and a character had to use the line, “I think the phone’s ringing.”
Students, who could work in teams of up to four, had from April 20 to May 4 to complete their work.
