11th Annual Highbridge Film Festival

WILMORE, Ky. (March 23, 2015) — Asbury University will open the doors of Hughes Auditorium to honor its student filmmakers at the 11th Annual Highbridge Film Festival that will take place at 7:30 p.m., April 25. Asbury alumni, friends, and the community are welcome to attend this highly anticipated event.

“This event could not take place without the incredible creativity and efforts of our students,” said Professor Greg Bandy. “Besides producing the event we have numerous students creating the films for the actual program. I am still amazed at how many creative, hard-working people it takes to make this happen.”

The 11th Annual Film Festival is entirely produced and promoted through the combined efforts of the Special Events class’ Public Relations, Video, Design and the Miller and Hughes Event teams.

While the film festival honors the creativity and excellence in storytelling of Asbury’s student filmmakers, it is also open to submissions from high school students. The high school film winner that is selected will be screened at the festival and the winning student will receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend Asbury. Each film entry will be reviewed by professional judges from the film industry.

Highbridge Film Festival is a community-wide event that is open to the public. With each ticket, guests are granted admission to the film screenings, the award ceremony, and the Red Carpet Reception in the studio of the Miller Center for Communication Arts. This year, guests can anticipate a street-party theme along the building’s studio-set aesthetics.
