WEEKLY VOLCANO REPRESENT >>>
Tacoma Art Place just announced the winners of its viral video contest. we're happy to report that Weekly Volcano film critic Christopher Wood and Ian Milatz wone the contest. Congrats gents!
The press release is posted after the break:
Tacoma, WA - Two local filmmakers, Chris Wood and Ian Milatz, used the power of creativity and YouTube to win the viral video contest held by Tacoma Art Place (TAP) and sponsored by Comcast. The winners split the $250 prize after meeting the challenge to create a 30-second video promoting the mission of Tacoma Art Place, a non-profit art center in the Martin Luther King neighborhood of Tacoma.
The winning videos will be displayed on the Tacoma Art Place website, www.tacomaartplace.org, and on the Comcast website, comcastwashington.mediaroom.com.
"Experiences like the Tacoma Art Place video contest are a very fun way to exercise those creative muscles, as well as do something that benefits the community - what could be better? I utilize Facebook mainly to reach friends and colleagues and to tell them about TAP," said Chris Wood.
Contest co-winner Ian Milatz is only thirteen years old. "I'm so impressed with the video by Ian, and I understand he has communicated with Chris about his production business and now looks to him as a mentor. These are the kinds of results we like to see at TAP and we're grateful to Comcast for helping us to bring this contest to the community," said TAP founder Linda Danforth.
"We try to foster participation in a variety of art mediums, and thought a video contest would be a fun incentive to encourage people who might not have produced a video before," added Danforth.
Tacoma Art Place (TAP) is a non-profit art center (with 501c3 charitable status) in the heart of the revitalized MLK neighborhood. Their mission is to provide access to equipment and training that will allow more people to affordably explore their creativity and artistic ability. They have a special emphasis to reach underserved individuals with free or reduced-cost memberships and to offer arts education in the community.
