Abstract
For this project, I hosted a script and story writing contest for children ages 5-12 to submit original materials they had written for a chance to be transformed into a short film I would then produce myself. I selected a winning story, rewrote it as a script, and filmed it. I then edited it and incorporated creative motion graphics, sound effects and scoring in order to translate the childlike whimsy and imagination of the original story. I hope to make at least one more film out of the project, and also inspire other creators to collectively work on transforming more children’s stories into films and other creative works.
