On Friday, June 7 th the Dennis P. McHugh Piermont Public Library will partner with the Michael J. Armstrong Memorial Foundation to host “Five-Minute Flicks,” a new annual competition in collaboration with the film program at South Orangetown’s Tappan Zee High School.
The competition, which will award three cash prizes, provides an opportunity to remember the life of 9/11 victim Michael J. Armstrong while celebrating the creative talents of local teenagers. The challenge for entrants will be to tell a compelling story, in any theme or
genre of their choosing, in five minutes or less. Prizes will be awarded for First Place ($500), Second Place ($300), and Third Place ($200) at the end of the evening. It is the hope of the Foundation that the prize money will be spent to further enhance the students’ love of film.
Doors will open for this event at 6:30 pm. The viewing of entries will begin at approximately 7:00 p.m., and admission is free.
