     Last Friday, at the Media Entertainment Arts Showcase, the highly-anticipated film New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable won the award for best story, propelling the film to stardom prior to its official release this Friday. The showcase, which acted as the film's world premiere, was nearly filled during the first half of the event, which was when New Friends was shown. Afterwards, Raul Flores and Andrew Bermudez, who created the film, took to the stage to talk about the film's development and the creative process. Many of the details discussed were released last December in the article First Look at "New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable!".

     However, the unexpected news of the night came after the second half of the showcase during the awards ceremony, which Raul Flores was unable to attend. At the awards ceremony, instructor Ron Mita gave the award for best story to New Friends ~ An Environmental Fable! "I'm at a loss for words," is what Andrew first said as he accepted the award. It did not win best picture (that award went to the excellent film The Five Rules to be an Imaginary Friend), but this award is still a high honor for the filmmakers.

     Overall, the night was a spectacular one, filled with many great films, fascinating discussions, and a wide variety of guests. To wrap up our coverage, here are some more photos taken during the night.
