Congratulations to SUNY New Paltz Department of Digital Media and Journalism students. In six short days, students created 90 videos for the Woodstock Film Festival, covering the festival for the organization’s YouTube page. This is the 12th festival that we have been involved in. The Festival, along with its sister organization, The Hudson Valley Film Commission, has SUNY New Paltz in its DNA. From their interns, operations staff, volunteers, photographers, and videographers, you’ll find many SUNY New Paltz and alumni working in their offices and on location.

In addition, Professor Megan Sperry works as Director of the WFF Summer Youth Film Lab, whose work screened this past weekend. Profesor Sperry also moderated the Q and A. Congratulations to all our students and faculty!

Finally a BIG Congratulations to Meira Blaustein and Laurent Rejto for their tireless efforts in bringing film to our area. Their tireless dedication is nothing short of inspiring.
