Movie awards on tap at high school

Boulder City Review
March 26, 2014 - 12:46 pm
 

Part educational experience and part show business, the second annual Boulder City Movie Awards will be presented at 7 p.m. April 3 in the theater at Boulder City High School.

The awards, which recognize outstanding achievements in all aspects of filmmaking, are the result of a 2012 class project for teacher Canaan Petersen, who teaches music and film studies as well as American history.

The movies are created through Petersen’s film course and Josh Fisher’s video production class. They will be judged by a panel of adults associated with the school and from the community.

Awards will be presented in the categories of best picture, best director, music video, cinematography, best sound, best effects, best editing, best screenplay and public service announcement.

Residents are invited to the awards ceremony.

A rad evening in downtown Boulder City
By Ron Eland Boulder City Review

Saturday night, a large crowd donned their best 1980s attire, which included an abundance of neon-colored clothing as part of the aptly-named Neon Nights. The block party was hosted by Main Street Boulder City and served as a make-up event for their planned New Year’s Eve celebration, which was canceled due to impending weather. Attendees filled the restautants and bars along the steet, while listening to 80s music played by DJ Mike Pacini.

As a result of the Dec. 31 cancellation, a New Year's Eve 2.0 event will be held Saturday.
