Mahurangi College student Ysabella Stevenson received both a Highly Recommended and Best Editing award for her film Oedipus Rex last month.
The film was selected as a late choice for the International Youth Silent Film Festival New Zealand Regional competition held in Tauranga on December 22.
“The standard of competition was extremely high so it was great talking to other directors about how they had done their movies,” Ysabella says. “It was amazing to win two awards especially after all the hard work that was put into making the film.”
Ysabella plans to enter the competition next year. Her next big film competition will be the 48-hour event in May.
