Youthtubenews I’d like to present to you, Erin Vogt. This seventeen year old, Kendal College student is one of the bright campers in our very own film camp. Erin joined us this year all the way from England.
Although, she does have different living arrangements in mind. In five years time, Erin hopes to be living in Los Angeles, California. Where she will be studying a Masters in her chosen Specialism. Erin is keeping an open mind and currently does not have a specific school that she wants to attend. But, she still has an idea of what she would like to study. Animation and/or Film Production is at the top of her list.
Erin plans on taking what she will learn from these courses and applying it in careers such as: animation, editing and/or visual effects. You may be wondering how a student from England figured out about Youthtubenews.
Erin became familiar with this program from a film company, by the name of Signal Film and Media. It resides in Barrow, England. At the time, Erin was already enrolled in one of their programs. That's when her great work caught the attention of their program leaders. And then led them to recommend her to our Foundations’ Summer Film Camp. The outcome of this recommendation caused everyone to walk away happy.
Our Foundation gained another brilliant and talented student that had much to offer our Film Camp. Erin has also benefited from this program, she states, “I have made lots of industry connections, gained advice from inside the industry and met some awesome filmmakers.” This is why Erin recommends this program to anyone looking into it. Or to those who have an interest in film careers and want help shaping or developing any ideas. This program itself helped Erin advance her own interests. Vogt explains, “It’s helped me realize what I want to specialize in.” This film camp was a needed win for Erin with all the sorrow and isolation due to Covid-19. Through this program, Erin was able to communicate, brainstorm and construct new ideas with fellow campers. And any thoughts of her future film career falling apart because of the virus, were soon forgotten. There were many highlights from this program, but Erin’s main one had to do with what this whole camp is about. Vogt exclaims, “My favorite part is being able to meet new people, and hopefully having the opportunity to bring my film to life after lockdown!” Film Camp is about bringing people together, furthering their interests and helping them reach their goals. We see that Erin understands this, from her statement. Exceptional students such as Erin Vogt, compromise our film camps and we will continue to add to this growing community. 
Hoffman cinched the first-place spot with her script entitled “Dinner for One.” For the screenplay titled “The Mirror,” Airis was awarded second place. Sanford and Barone tied for third place with their respective works, “Joshua Tree” and “The Runaways.”
“The scripts we received in this contest reflected a very talented group of teenagers,” explained Leon Anderson, one of the contest judges. “It truly was a difficult deliberation choosing the winners. These four students should be very proud of themselves and their outstanding work. They clearly have bright futures ahead of them.”
The Lockdown Screenplay Contest was open to teens around the country ages 11 to 17. The four winners chosen this year will have the opportunity to have their screenplay produced by fellow teens during the Barbara Seniors Harkins Foundation’s Fall Filmmaking Program. Pictured are Winners: Airis Aaron, Ryan Sanford, and Victoria Barone.
