Filmmaker Looks At WCHS For Documentary
Students at Warsaw Community High School can audition Wednesday for a documentary that may be made in Warsaw during their 2005-06 senior school year. Academy Award nominated filmmaker Nanette Burstein is looking at three to four high schools in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania - including Warsaw - to make her documentary "American Teen." "I actually wanted to do a film on high school for years," Burstein said during an interview Friday at the high school.She said she was going to make one on high school football years ago but that didn't happen.She said she finds the age really important as a senior in high school is about to leave the nest."It's important as far as your self identity." Whether the documentary is made at WCHS depends on two factors - school board approval and the senior students who show up for the auditions.Burstein said she wants as many students to be at the auditions as possible who will be seniors during the 2005-06 school year.
