On Thursday, Feb. 10, SXSW (South By Southwest) announced that four GPISD student films would be in the finals at the prestigious SXSW Film Festival.

Students in Buzz Media, from Galena Park High School were selected for three of those slots. And a fourth went to a student from North Shore High School's Stampede Studios. The films from Buzz Media to make the finals are: "G.E.T. P.A.I.D." (music video), "B-Boying" (documentary), and "Eggs" (comedy). The film from Stampede Studios was entitled "Z" (short film). |
