The Latest Project From the YP Film Department
On a warm and sunny Sunday in September, the YP Film Department headed out for a day of filming on location on the Staten Island Ferry. “This project started out as a short play written by John Viscardi (York Prep Drama Director) in 2019 that went on to win first place in a 2020 one-act play festival for a regional theater company in Middleburg, West Virginia,” says Performing Arts Chair Ms. Hutchison. After adapting it into a screenplay and filming it, the plan is to submit State of Affairs into a number of film festivals.
“York Prep Film Department uses York Prep alumni that have graduated from film schools - while also working with current York Prep students -to benefit their education,” says Ms. Hutchison. “This will give the York Prep students an opportunity to work with young professionals that started out where they are now.” Click through the slideshow to get a look behind the scenes from the shoot!
