The Florida Keys Council of the Arts recently announced a collaboration with the Tropic Cinema and the Monroe County School District to help young filmmakers.

The initiative offers students an opportunity to compete individually or in teams of up to four members to produce introductory “leader” films that convey the essential messages of the Tropic Cinema before each feature film is shown.

An awards ceremony and screening of the student films took place May 23 at Tropic Cinema, showcasing the work of all participants for their parents and the community. Students won a total of $2,000 in cash awards.

To see all student videos, visit the KWHSConch5Studios channel on YouTube. And the winners are:
