The It's Only a Movie - Short Horror Film Festival is this weekend! 

A condensed version of one of the segments of last year's big film, Sleep Study, is playing.  It isn't the final version of the film, and it isn't the official premiere!  We'll for sure have one of those later this school year with the "Pluto" segment in its finalized form along with the entire Sleep Study anthology film, and it is sure to be a rad event.

But is is always fun to support and be a part of small, local film festivals!  And we're honored they'll be showing this small segment of Sleep Study.

I want to thank everybody, EVERYBODY who helped make this movie!  It takes an army. 

SLEEP STUDY: PLUTO THE TOY PROTECTOR's festival cut will be screening at It's Only a Movie Friday (10/28/22) night along with a bunch of other really cool, locally made horror shorts!!!!

Get info and tickets here!!!  I'm so excited!

Here's a short description o' the movie:

"A teenager who claims his teddy bear talks to him is placed in a sleep study facility to get help, only the facility may not be as benign as it appears."

We've been trying to get the word out to everyone, and if you're just finding out about this now, we apologize profusely!  It has been a wild, challenging, busy school year for us teachers (thanks to the pandemic), and if we didn't tell you sooner, it was not on purpose at all!

Hopefully you've already heard, or if not, can attend on short notice.  We know some of you who worked on the films live out of state now.  We hope all y'all are living life to the fullest and are happy, healthy, and well.

Here is the info:

Together Forever - Directed by Kass McLaws, Produced by Mikah Tupua

The Dreamer - Directed by Cayden Miller, Produced by Alivia Smith

Enveloped in Fog - Directed by Ben Hampton, Produced by Finn Hodges 

When: Mon, December 6, 7pm – 9pm

Where: Kaysville Theatre, 21 N Main St, Kaysville, UT 84037

*To keep things safe, masks are required for this event (unless you have a medical reason not to wear one).

All are invited - all students who attend EHHS, those who worked on the films, their friends, their family, any guest they'd like to bring. 

Feel free to dress up for a red carpet event if you want.  Or don't, it is not required.  We are just excited to have a bunch of fun!!!!

Here are a few stills from the movies:

TELOS ONLINE: UPDATE

UPDATE:  The ceremony was edited and uploaded.  Watch it here.  It is great!  We're really proud of the students:  https://youtu.be/XLA81vJ9CNA


TELOS tonight was a smashing success!  It was so much fun, and we're so proud of all the nominees and the winners, and we're so grateful to the supportive friends and family that attended.


As promised, TELOS will be online for those unable to attend.  We're so sorry we had to limit our numbers, due to Covid, and we're grateful for your understanding.


Spencer and Will are feverishly cutting together the show to put things up online, but it is taking longer than we thought - and quite frankly - we're tired.  Hahaha!


We're still at the school editing, but it won't be ready for tonight.  I AM SO SORRY.  But the show will be up in the next day or two.


Thanks so much for understanding!!!!!


In the mean time, you can watch the nominated videos - they are great!  Here's a link to 'em:

TIME FOR TELOS

 May 26th is Telos!  The theme:  A Night in the Woods.

Here's the dealio, because of Covid, only the nominees and their three guests can attend in person, but later that night (probably around 8:30pm [SEE UPDATE BELOW]), on East Hollywood's Youtube page, the whole show will be up!

See the details below.  And if you're a nominee, bring your own blankets or camping chairs!  See you there.

UPDATE:  The online version WILL NOT BE UP on the night of Telos, we're just too busy, too tired, and have a lot going on with the end of the school year upon us.  We're currently working hard at it, it will be done in the next few days!

For the rest of you all, do not fret!  We'll put it up on Youtube that same evening.  Keep checking the East Hollywood High Youtube page that night.  We expect the ceremony to be up at approx. 8:30pm.
