We’re excited to announce another win for the school – this time in the 48 hr Film Festival. Onslow College was named Best School Team in New Zealand!
The team ‘Evil Cutlery’, made up of Rowan Smith, Hugo Montgomery, Toby Virtue, Carmen Manning, AJ Krishnan, Saffron Morrison and Elliot Faulkner, shot, and edited a film in 48 hrs called ‘We Scream’. The film is a hilarious 5 minute drama/comedy about icecream…and lentils!
The students were supported by teachers Jayne Mulligan, Gina Barclay, and Rosanna Williams.
Judge Thomas Coppell, from the Wellington competition, gave the school some heart warming feedback;
“I have been so impressed with the quality of films just lifting and lifting from Onslow year after year, and this year’s win is two in a row for your kura!! That’s a big ups to your students and the quality of the teaching, so well done….. I can’t wait to see what’s next from these rangatahi!”
Over 500 teams of filmmakers of all ages enter each year with just 48 hours to write, shoot and cut a film with a given genre and some random elements. Filmmakers compete for awards and the title of Grand National Champion, culminating in a Grand Final event.
