Paterson West Milford High School students took two first place prizes out of four at the Passaic County film Festival. Communication Arts and Media teacher Michael Padilla said he and his students participated in the festival, which was held at the Fabian 8 Cinema in Paterson, and came away with several prizes. “Out of the four categories and over 40 entries around Passaic County, West Milford did exceptionally well,” said Padilla. “There were also several videos from West Milford that made honorable mention.” Applicants were required to be either high school students or independent film makers who lives in Passaic County. There were four categories: General Interest, Music Video, Public Service Announcement (PSA), and Independent Film (outside of high school). West Milford students placed first in both the music video and general interest categories, second in the PSA category, and third in PSA and independent film categories.
