"Tolerance," afilmmade by BYU students at last year's LDS Film Festival, was one of the lucky entries selected for screening at this year's festival, which begins this week in Park City, Utah. The film, about a man who only communicates through postcards, was one of only 90 films chosen out of a field of more than 3,000 entries. Provo, Utah, natives Mark and David Finch Hedengren made this film during last year's LDS Film Festival in their 24-hour movie-making marathon, where they ended up taking home the S400 first prize.

"Tolerance" stars Divine Comedy veterans Alex Kirry and Brynn Kelly Zimmer, with the Hedengren brothers acting in minor roles. "I think 'Tolerance' is a tribute to Dave and Mark's tenacity," Zimmer said. "So often we sit around dreaming about how fun it would be to make a movie. Mark and Dave called a few people, grabbed a camera and made it happen."

However, one state representative snggested a potential improvement Morley's bill. Rep. Ron Bigelow, R-West Valley City, said he generally supported the bill but added an amendment declaring that members of the military who change their residency from Utah to another state while deployed are not eligible for For scholarships from individual colleges and departments, visit: www.sa.utah.edu/finance/schoiarships/resident/coilegeDeptMmi the exemption from regular residency requirements. The amendment failed to pass the House of Representatives, but it was the subject of a lively debate. "It's really a very simple issue," Bigelow said. "This amendment changes nothing in the bill for servicemen except for those who actively make a decision and affirmatively declare that they want to be a resident of another state." Morley objected to the amendment, stating that it would make adjusting to a new location more difficult for service personnel. He said it would prevent soldiers from voting in local elections in their places of deployment, which could include school board issues that would affect their children. Rep. Kory Holdaway, R-Taylorsville, spoke in favor of Bigelow's amendment. "If I'm a resident of Utah, and I get called into the military, and then want to declare Nevada as my domicile state to avoid paying the taxes which go to fund the education for students in Utah, then should I be benefiting from residency status when I come back? My feeling is no," Holdaway said. Other representatives disagreed, arguing that military members deserve a broad leeway on residency issues because of their Important service to the nation. Bigelow's amendment ultimately failed by a margin of 31 to 38. With the amendment rejected, state representatives voted on the original version of Morley's bill.
