The Blue Water Film Festival (BWFF) announced recently the two winning students of its Video Public Service Announcement Contest. Steve Rhein, a 2012 graduate of St. Clair High School and St. Clair TEC and Juleana Cain, a senior at St. Clair High School and St. Clair TEC have both won $5,000 scholarships to attend the Motion Picture Institute of Michigan.

High school students throughout the thumb counties of Michigan were tasked with creating a :30 or :60 second video presentation addressing the question, “What does the Blue Water Film Festival mean to the me, the area and the community?”

“Steve and Julez are both talented, young, aspiring filmmakers,” expressed Jeremy Stemen, Executive Director of the Blue Water Film Festival. “Partnering with a prestigious video arts school like MPI is a wonderful opportunity to engage local students. We are so appreciative of MPI founder/director Douglas Schulze and his support of the BWFF. This generous prize is going to make a tremendous impact in the post-secondary education of these gifted students.”

The PSAs created by Rhein and Cain will be featured at the fourth annual Blue Water Film Festival in downtown Port Huron on October 5 and 6, 2012.
