Jim McKay

Director, From an Objective Point of View (2001-2002 National East Contest Winner)

"The more layers a story has and the less simplistic a story is the more there is to talk about . . . so I think these [films] are great starting points for kids who are viewing them to go further into the issues."

- Jim McKay
