Your representation here this year at Raindance with the highest quality film shorts and your schools feature-length film is the testament proving that your school is indeed worthy of this honor.

With 35' to the grid, it has major league height to "fly" in. It has a dynamic smoke evacuation system that will remove smoke from forest fire scenes inless than two minutes; and it has quick-release drains for rain & hurricanes scenes. Themassive A/C units handling the 500,000 plus cubic feet of performance stage are custom made to shut on and off fifty times per day the moment the Director shouts "action" and "cut". Thelighting, sound, A/C's, plus super power in the grid and on the floor and a host of other electrical functions are all controlled by a specialized computer system.
