If you're looking for the next Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock, you may want to head to Waterbury.
Hundreds of budding filmmakers are descending on the "Brass City" for the Connecticut Student Film Festival at the Palace Theater Friday afternoon.
It's an "Oscar-like" atmosphere that celebrates the year-long work of 400 middle and high school students from across Connecticut. They wrote, produced and directed a wide variety of innovative, cutting-edge film programs in a variety of categories.
The festival is a collaboration between Connecticut business, government, K–12 education, higher education, and not-for-profit organizations that support programs for Connecticut urban and suburban students.
Their work is judged by a panel of industry professionals and college faculty and the winners will be recognized at the festival.
