RTVF majors finalists in a national film competition

Two radio-TV-film students leaped into the professional field this summer when they, among 13 other teens representing Dallas, created a film to compete in Samsung Mobile Fresh Films, a filmmaking program exclusively for teens.

Junior Brittney Dubose and freshman Sasha Hairford contributed to the 10-minute film named “Saturday” and are awaiting the results of the final vote-off against two other teams. Voting ends Wednesday.

Hairford said her experience confirmed her decision to declare a radio-TV-film major.

“It turned my life around,” she said. “It really secured my passion for film-making.”
The winning team will get a trip to Los Angeles, Apple laptops and a premiere at the American Film Institute’s AFI Fest.
