(January 10. 2018---Hollywood, California) High Tech High School’s
David Mansour, a Bayonne resident and junior in the school’s Audio/Visual
Production Department, has received the award for Best Youth Filmmaker of
America and First Place in the Youth Category at the AT&T Film Awards,
announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech.
Mansour’s Leave a Message shows a teen’s
perspective on cyberbullying. The film demonstrates that one phrase, one
text, or one call can literally make the most significant impact in a person’s
life.
“David has taken an assignment and pushed the limits of his
craft,” says Gregg Ascolese, Mansour’s Audio/Visual Production instructor at
High Tech. “He continues to improve
every day he walks into the studio. He
is a true catalyst.”
On top of taking home the AT&T Film Awards trophy for Best Youth Filmmaker, Mansour will take part in a week-long academy and receive a package of camera equipment valued at $2,000.
