Animation Students Take Home Top Honours at CPBC Competition

Consumer Protection BC asked students from post-secondary film schools across BC to submit ideas for a 30-second PSA that would explain film classification to the public in a fun and entertaining way.  Four team finalists, (two from Emily Carr and two from Capilano University), were shortlisted from over 25 submissions and were provided up to $10,000 to produce their PSA with a film industry professional acting as a mentor. 

Rated Argyle by the team affectionately known as 'Team Argyle' (led by animation students Chelsea Ker, David Nguyen, Sterling Richter, Carmen Wong, assisted by Toni Zhang, and directed by Stephanie Blakey,) took home top honours.

The Emily Carr entries stemmed from ANIM-326 | Collaborative Animation, instructed by sessional faculty member Darren Brereton, with supervision by Associate Professor Martin Rose.

Rated Argyle will screen in Cineplex, Empire and independent cinemas across the province beginning this fall.  View all four finalist's PSA's on the Consumer Protection BC website.
