Who knows, maybe someday Hollywood will release an animated motion picture written by Wilbraham & Monson Academy's Zhe "Eva" Wang '19.
Eva won a student short film festival sponsored by The Bing Art Center of Springfield, Massachusetts, in April.
The video, titled "This will be the Greatest Scientific Discovery of Mankind," was two minutes, 47 seconds in length. It used various animated sketch-drawn characters with a predominantly stationary background. The requirements included being 1-5 minutes long while produced on a smartphone.
Eva was accepted and will attend Ringling College of Art and Design, a highly regarded animation school in Sarasota, Florida.
