Nocona High student short films advance to state semi-finals
By DANI BLACKBURN
“Daze Go By” and “No Matter What” are short films created by Nocona High School students for entry in the Texas University Interscholastic League Theatre and Film contest.
The films take just seven minutes each to watch, but took months of writing, filming and programming to create. The student’s hard work has been rewarded with advancement to the State Semi-Finals.
Students from all across Texas create films to enter into one of four categories: Narrative, documentary, computer animation and traditional animation. Nocona High School chose to create one in the documentary category and one in the narrative category. Read the full future on these short films in your weekend News.
