Everyone on campus was there. What? You weren't? Oh, wow, did you miss out! March
1st, 2007 marked the most glamorous night of the year: Rollins College LEAD team presented
the one and only Campus MovieFest. This entirely student run organization could not have been put together any better, even if they tried.
The amount of talent which shone through in these films was certainly reflected in the
audience's hysterical laughter, or speechless awed expressions. The editing techniques, the seriousness of the dramas, and the comedies were all hits and proved once again how remarkable the student body of Rollins College is.
The LEAD team at Rollins worked so hard for over a year to pull this show off. With the
décor, red carpet, and limo waiting outside the Alfond Sports Center, I could hardly believe that we were not actually transported
to Hollywood.
Even the dining hall was set up with the glitz and glam, along with prizes and trivia. To all the students' desires, they served barbecue chicken and good, old fashioned mac and cheese. There was no way that people could not get into it. As people
who were wearing their gowns and tuxes paraded into the gym, it was impossible to anticipate how great the movies were going
to turn out.
Hosts Steve Miller and Emily Killian were engaging and ridiculously funny as they introduced the films, adding just another exciting element to the already grandiose night.
The winners of these films not only have amazing respect and pride in their showcased
work, but many of them received money, gift certificates, and, of course, a limo ride to a lovely paid for dinner on the town in
Winter Park!
After the show, the "big bang" finale was the incredible fireworks display over Lake Virginia. What a beautiful sight, people in gowns, holding hands with their dates, and watching a fireworks display. What a perfect
way to end this crazy night!
