Deltona High School student wins national film honor

DELTONA -- A Deltona High School student was awarded the top prize for short films in a national film-making contest from among a pool of more than 700 entrants.

Nick Martir won the award in the "Young Minds Digital Times Film Competition" for his short film: "Wacky Wilderness."

The competition's aim was to give students a chance to share their ideas and showcase their films with an emphasis on "addressing real-life issues," said co-founder, Amy Looper, of OneSeventeen Media.
