David Marek's FTVM 301 Selected as Top Ten Finalist in The Challenge Detroit Film Compeition
The Challenge Detroit Competition called for entries between five and fifteen minutes in length that fit the theme "Resurgence: A Comeback Story." The FTVM 301 finalist, entitled "The Key of B," created by Alexander Holmes, Maggie Marshall, and Jayden Hua, is a poignant exploration of the pivotal role that art and music play in human development. Focusing on the Brightmoor neighborhood in Detroit, the filmmakers document the views of spokesmen from Seven Mile Music, The City Covenant Church, and both the Brightmoor and the Woodbridge Community Centers in an effort to emphasize the importance of art and music exposure, education, and opportunity in fostering both individual and community growth. Students, faculty, staff, and friends can vote for their favorite film until October 14th. Congratulations FTVM 301 -- and best of luck in the competition!
