CCC students' video wins at festival
A video created by six Cayuga Community College students has won the Documentary-Public Awareness category in the 2007 Hometown Video Festival.
Peter Cramer, Laura Harmon, Caleb Kerlin, Lindsey Needell, Brian O'Hare and Eric Small, all of whom have since graduated, created “A Tale of Two Lakes,” tracing the connection between Onondaga and Skaneateles Lakes. In 1885 the two lakes were pure bodies of water. Now, Onondaga Lake is a site for toxic waste whereas Skaneateles is an untainted drinking water source.
The film has won two other awards, taking a 2007 Bronze from the Telly Awards and a 2006 Accolade Award in videography. The Documentary-Public Awareness award was awarded by the Alliance for Community Media, a national organization of local-access cable television providers.
The college's broadcasting department is planning to screen the film at the campus in September.
