On October 28, Middletown North’s TV Production Club held a Horror Film Festival in room 1301. Student films were projected on a large screen in front of a crowd of people eager to get into the spooky spirit. 

As Halloween was just around the corner, the room was filled with eerie scenery and props. The “Audience Choice Award” went to Max Cusson for his creation of Voices. 

Though the films were all put together by students, the festival would not have come to fruition without the influencer behind the camera. Mr. Cullen has mentored and worked alongside his students as they strive to achieve their goals as filmmakers. Below is an interview that was conducted with Mr. Cullen.

A:  “I love teaching them the ropes and them taking those skills and developing awesome films. Seeing my students work on a film festival screen is one of the best feelings I receive from my job.”
