Hutchison girls made a strong showing at the annual Indie Memphis Youth Film Festival. "Power Thru" by Eliza Kamara '21 and "Common Interest" by Callie Oehmler '20 were each selected for an audience award in their respective categories.
Indie Memphis staff gave awards for outstanding achievements in particular areas, including Outstanding Performance to Becket Monaghan '19 for her role in Callie’s film "Common Interest" and an award for Production Design to Caroline Couch '20 and her co-creators for their film "Constitution", which was developed during their participation in the Indie Memphis CrewUp Youth Mentorship program.
