A film created by Oakridge freshman Rosalind Krabill was recently recognized at the Better Youth Real to Reel Youth Global Film Festival in California.
Rosalind's film “Little Girl” is about a girl being bullied because of mental illness. Rosalind made the film based on a poem she wrote and debuted it at the Oakridge talent show last year. The film was recognized at the Festival as one of the Best Biography selections, and Rosalind also received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Representative Karen Bass of California.
The 2016 Real to Reel Film Festival was held at the LA Film School and featured screenings of award-winning youth film selections and panels with industry experts. The competition honors youth who create original and unique media projects that address an issue plaguing their local or global community.
Rosalind, who lists her passions as acting and photography, says she might make another film this school year, again based on a poem she has written. Her award-winning film “Little Girl” can be viewed online.
