The Michigan Interscholastic Press Association today announced the winners of the 2022 MIPA Film Challenge.
Students were given two weeks to create a fictional short film no longer than 5 minutes that fit the theme “Beginnings.” Films had to include a wristwatch and a character had to say, “Now you’re asking the right questions,” at some point in the film.
Entries were judged by a panel of MIPA member advisers.
