The Michigan Interscholastic Press Association today announced the winners of the 2019 MIPA Two-Week Film Challenge.
Students were given two weeks to create a fictional or documentary short film no longer than 5 minutes that fits the theme “Beyond.” Films had to include a bow tie and a character had to say, “I’m just happy to be here.”
Entries were judged by a panel of current and former MIPA member advisers.
