Trop Jr
The worlds largest short film festival for kids, by kids, is now a stand alone event and saw the finalists, including two of our NSW Cinekids, four-time TROP JR finalist Darwin Schulze screened his film THE GOLDEN SLICE inspired by the TROP JR Signature Item, which this year is Mask and Aiden Emery cinematographer of the winning Tropfest Jr film, PUPILS directed by his long-time collaborator Nick Ward. Nicks winning film is a tale of a boy who goes to school surrounded by the blinded and must decide whether he should be a victim or a hero. Now in its ninth year, Trop Jr follows the same format as all Tropfest competitions, in that all entries must be made specifically for the festival, be no longer than 7 minutes, and feature the Trop Jr Signature Item. Well done Darwin, Aiden and Nick.
