Spotlight on Mill Creek Alumni
Dacula native and Mill Creek High School alumni Olivia Day now has a national
spotlight on her: she has been selected by Sprite as one of six filmmakers to
compete in the prestigious nationwide film program, Sprite Films™. A student
filmmaker at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Olivia is competing to obtain valuable on-the-job experience and learn first-hand how to produce a short
film – and has the opportunity to win big. Olivia is the only female director
this year and has a number of women on her crew which is rare in the industry!
She is currently wrapping production on her short film “See Your Dreams” which
will be live for public online viewing and voting the week of March 24 through
May 15 at Sprite.com/films. In April and May, Sprite Films will promote Olivia
and the finalists via a trailer in select movie theaters nationwide.
A group of film industry experts will crown the Green Ribbon Panel winner
with the opportunity to work on a Sprite brand project with an agency that does
business with The Coca-Cola Company. In addition, the Green Ribbon Panel winner
will see their winning short film debut in select theaters across the country
in August 2014.
America will select the student winner of the Fan Favorite Award: A $5,000
donation will be made to their university’s film department and a special trip
to AFI FEST, the American Film Institute’s (AFI) film festival, will also be
awarded in November.
Olivia Day (director) and her teammate Akmyrat Tuyliyev (producer), both
from the Savannah College of Art and Design, will be heading to CinemaCon – the
gathering of the motion picture theatre industry – the week of March 24, 2014
in Las Vegas. At CinemaCon, finalists will have the opportunity to meet with
influential directors and well-known actors who will share insight into the
film industry and provide guidance on this journey.
