Two new films come out of Arts and Minds School

artsandminds

A week of intensive work on the plaza at Coconut Grove's Academy Arts and Minds Charter High School with theatre instructor Larry Villanueva, culminated in a series of outstanding summer productions.

Sara Benitez used her highly creative talent and wrote an original work entitled "Positive." The short film was shot on site at Commodore Plaza by Andres Monsalve who also directed and edited the movie which features Valeria Uribe and Anthony Otero. In addition, Philip Alan Fennell, Class of 2009, returned to take the lead in Torrance Klimoski's short original film called "ID." Both films are being considered for film festivals throughout the country.
