Ocean City High School will be represented by five film students and 18 other artists at the New Jersey State Teen Arts Festival, scheduled for June 1-3 at Middlesex College in Edison, New Jersey. The film students—Olivia Constantino, Elizabeth Coffey, Moran Williams, Isabella Baron, and Kobe Pyle—earned their place at the festival with their five-minute short film titled 'Seen', which was selected during the Cumberland and Cape May County Teen Arts Festival in April. This achievement is particularly notable as it marks the second consecutive year that the school's honors film production class has qualified for the state event. Dean Michalski, the film teacher, highlighted the students' journey through the filmmaking process, emphasizing the real-world experience they gained. In addition to film, students will also showcase their talents in 2D and 3D visual arts, as well as in creative writing and poetry. Superintendent Christian Angelillo commended the students for their creativity and expressed excitement for their upcoming presentations at the festival.
