Whitney Bigelow, The Daily Universe; Film and music festival celebrates student creatives and public domain
"Student filmmakers and musicians walked away from Wednesday night’s
Public Domain Film and Music Festival with over $3000 in cash prizes.
The festival was put on by the BYU Copyright Licensing Office.
Students had 48 hours to create a film based on one of ten pieces of
literature from 1924 that entered the public domain at the start of this
year. Entries in the music category were given audio recordings from
that same year to incorporate into their compositions.
The winner of the evening’s prestigious Best Picture award and $1,000
was a group of students called RHEEL Productions, including Heather
Moser, Avery Marshall, Laura Marshall and Emma Spears. Their entry was a
dramatic short film entitled “What’ll I Do,” based on the 1924 novel
“Some Do Not” by Ford Madox Ford."
