Film and animation students at Port Moody's Heritage Woods secondary returned from California this past weekend with golden smiles.
Mike Schoenhals, the school's film and animation teacher, said six of Heritage's movies were screened at the International Student Film Festival Hollywood (ISFFH).
And legendary actor Ed Asner - this year's ISFFH lifetime achievement award recipient - handed a first-place accolade to Nickjan Aminosharei for his high school public service announcement, titled Texting While Driving.
Kaya Ogmen also clinched the top prize for best high school animation for her production, called The Chinchilla's Mirror.
