Show Glen Turner Takes National Honors In Film Contest Glen Turner, former art instructor instruc-tor at the high school and an artist ar-tist of well-known ability, has again exhibited his superiority in amateur film production, according accord-ing to word received here this week. Mr. Turner has been judged one of the ten best producers of amateur films in the Cinema League Lea-gue Ten Best Contest. The contest is the same one in which he received the Hyrum Percy Maxim Memorial award when he entered the film, "One Summer Day," last year. Entitled, "The Barrier," the prize-winning film is in color, taken ta-ken in the Capitol Reef country of Southeastern Utah. It has a western west-ern theme filled with excitement, tension and breathtaking incidences. inciden-ces. The manner in which Mr. Turner takes his main character along the only road to the reef and then has him pursued by Indians with his only means of escape to climb a high rugged cliff, shows ability nearing professional. The movie was made on a 16 M. M. film of actual scenes in contrast to the animated production produc-tion which took first place last year. . . A highlight of the movie is the Indian dance done by Professor Carl Young of the BYU as a special spe-cial effect dream sequence. The film is presently being shown in Hartford, Conn, and in New York. |
