Ashish Dhingra, a senior film production and philosophy major from Haryana, India, and Kevin Turner, a senior film production major from Hubertus, Wis., collaborated on the entry "Stronger" which won first place in the music video category.

Part of the coursework in the film production major is designed to help instruct students in how to create pieces like those entered in this competition.
"The faculty are really proud of them," said Dr. Lance Clark, professor of digital media arts film and communication. "Winning here is a great accomplishment at a national level, and we're honored to have our students have national recognition for their work. It's a fantastic way to represent the film program here at Huntington."
