Film award

St. Xavier High School senior Ian Timothy received a Gold Medal in the student-film category of the New York Festivals International TV and Film Awards Competition.

The awards were given at the National Association of Broadcasters convention. Timothy’s film, “Day Shift” was one of only two student films to win Gold Medals. The New York Festivals competition featured entries from 50 countries.

Additionally, Timothy is a recent recipient of a Silver Telly Award in the animation category for “Day Shift.”  This is an international professional award and is the highest honor given by the Telly Awards. Timothy’s film won in a professional category, not a student one. This year, there were more than 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.
