2012 Film Festival: A Birthday Wish

Here is our entry to this year's Manaiakalani Film Festival. As a class we wanted everyone to take part in creating our movie. Every person had a part to play from learning lyrics and singing them, drawing graphics for the background, dancing and acting. Our movie is about a young girl who has a birthday and daydreams about the things she would really like, from meeting One Direction to driving a racing car. Please leave us a comment when you've finished viewing and we will be sure to share the love. Click here to see entries from 2011.
