A ‘Picture Perfect’ internship
Jun 2nd, 2008 by Dave Olson
Our Masconomet High School interns, Kristina Bond and Maria Costigan, have finished up for the summer (and will be graduating Friday).
You’ve probably seen their bylines in the paper, including an interesting point-counterpoint on voting in last Saturday’s paper.
They’ve also left us with a pretty cool video on the monetary costs of teen smoking.
We’re not the only ones who were impressed. The duo was awarded first prize at a statewide film-shorts festival. The 30-second film demonstrates why Kristina and Maria are a part of “The 84” statewide youth movement, representing the 84 percent of Massachusetts youth who do not smoke. Their video was selected from more than 125 film entries as one of three first prize winners of the contest co-sponsored by Mass Youth Against Tobacco and WCVB-TV Channel 5. Kristina and Maria’s short will be shown on movie theater screens across the state during the month of June.
