A film made by Hillcrest High School students, “Whispers of a Ghost,” recently won the award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema at the Halloween Student Silent Film Festival at the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove.
A trio from a high school in the south suburbs planned to attend a Halloween party recently but two friends didn’t want the third to come, so they gave him the wrong address. When he found out, he was so mad he was driven to murder. Luckily, this wasn’t actual mean girls and boys, but rather a story from the vivid imagination of Hillcrest High School students who turned their idea into an award-winning silent film.
Fellow student Jonathan Guyton also worked on the film, which won in the category Outstanding Achievement in Cinema. The students filmed their scenes in one of their homes as well as an abandoned house, though the opening shots are set at Bremen High School in Midlothian. They also incorporated a ghost who appears on a roof, as well as in one of the houses.
