Copper Hills High School Feature Films
During my three years as a high school film teacher, I oversaw as my students made three feature films under the CH Studios banner. A feat that no other high school in the nation has completed, let alone three times. These students took the whole school year to outline, write, cast, direct, edit, produce, and distribute a feature film. Even though I have moved on from teaching, the moments I shared with them are unforgettable and live on through these films.
