Program: Rich Brauer, "Sheets of Sand." 

"Sheets of Sand" is a short film based on the winning screenplay by Northville native Natalie Lomske. Natalie received $500 and the opportunity to have her script crafted into a short film by Brauer Productions, Inc. Project Cinema MI created the competition to offer writers the chance to share their work and compete in this very unique project. There were 34 entrees judged by 19 film professionals across the U.S. 

During production, six professional film department heads mentored nine interns from the TBA Career Tech Center, NMC Audio Technology Department and other enthusiastic individuals. Interns were taught the physical, mental, creative and social skills required to produce a dramatic film. 

The story centers on a young woman with mild Cerebral Palsy and her emerging self confidence in a world of prejudice and judgement.
