Platt College student filmmakers Jaclene Prongay and Donovan Manuel and instructor Lisa Franek were selected as this year’s winners of the Nickelodeon Writer’s Script Review at the San Diego Latino Film Festival, held last month at the UltraStar Mission Valley Cinemas. “Beholder,” Platt instructor Neil Kendricks’ short film, was also selected to screen at the festival. The festival, in partnership with the Nickelodeon children’s television network, prepares applicants for submissions of their work to the Nickelodeon Writing Fellowship. Platt students frequently attend Downtown cultural events as inspiration for their graphic design, writing and filmmaking. Franek’s script, “Puppy Love,” is inspired by the NBC comedy “The Office,” in which Michael proclaims his love on Valentine’s Day with the perfect gift–a puppy. Manuel’s entry is designed as a 30-minute episode of the “Hannah Montana” series. Prongay’s script, “Squidward’s Groovy Parents,” was written as an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, wherein Squidward struggles with his embarrassment over his very different parents. — from staff reports
