CAMDEN — Ah, the teenage mind. A little weird, wonderful and warped, right? Tonight’s Cheap Dates suggestion asks you to get inside the teenage creative mind at the 8th annual CHRHS Film Festival, held in Strom Auditorium Friday, May 30 at 7 p.m.

What can we expect? According to Chris Walker-Spencer, the Visual & Media Technology teacher at CHRHS, “This year's film festival contains an eclectic blend of films. With documentaries, theatrical pieces and music videos from the CHRHS film students (Intro, Advanced and TV Studio) the audience can expect to laugh, cry and even cringe a bit. Projects range from a "Surgery Prep" community service short for Pen Bay Healthcare to a zombie film to a music video shot throughout the Midcoast region, including the newly renovated Lincoln Street Center.”

You knew there had to be zombies right? Whenever anyone gives a kid a creative assignment, it’s always about the zombies. Kinda awesome.

The annual festival is a showcase for some extremely talented and hardworking students. It's a wonderful opportunity for the community to enjoy an entertaining evening in Strom Auditorium. The festival will be hosted by senior filmmakers Emily Grotz and Zachary Stern. Showtime is 7 p.m. and admission is free.

Get that Cheapies? Free. Now that’s my kind of date, so bring a gal or a ghoul and get on over to the Strom tonight! Click for more info.
