The Oscars weren’t the only motion picture awards handed out over the weekend.
Roman Santaniello, a junior at Morristown High School, won the prize for Best High School Horror Film for his Elf Off the Shelf, at the Brightside Film Festival in Jersey City on Saturday.
The festival, celebrating its 16th season, featured more than 30 submissions in the high school division. The competition also included divisions for college- and independent filmmakers.
Roman also produced livestreamed red carpet interviews at Morristown Onstage earlier this month.
Here is Elf Off the Shelf:
Congratulations to Roman, and his MHS broadcasting teacher, Lance Armstrong. You also can see a short video that Roman shot for Morristown Green here.
