Once again, the Nocona High School digital arts program has placed two films in the finals and semi-finals of the University Interscholastic League competition.
This year’s award ceremony will be virtual, but Rob Norman, program director, said they have planned an event where the films can be screened when the awards are announced.
To provide a celebration for the students and community, the digital arts program has rented the Gainesville State Theater the evening of March 12. The students and families are invited to dress up for a red carpet event just like it would be in Austin. The show names will be featured on the outside marquee with plenty of social distancing room inside. Norman said they hope to stream the awards, but are awaiting details.
UIL has offered this film contest for the past eight years with NHS making the finals four times including 2020, when they won first in animation film and third in documentary.
Norman said this past year has been very difficult with the pandemic requiring them to operate very differently.
