The Rod Serling Video Festival, a K-12 student video festival started in 1995 to promote the
creative use of video technology in both the home and classroom, has been steadily gaining in

it is a comedy, drama, or animated work one thing you can be sure of… you will be both inspired
and amazed at the quality of work being performed by these young people. The presentation

existing video production classes already in progress. Opportunities for Distance Learning
Broadcasts or site visits will be discussed.
