Rene Dongo Wins AOL TV’s Best Youth 18 and Under Video
Who says you need your own camera to be an award-winning filmmaker? Certainly not Rene Dongo, winner of AOL TV’s Best Youth 18 and Under Video. The freshman at Emerson College in Boston used a borrowed camera to shoot the award-winning “The Countdown.” The short film eloquently illuminates Sofia Snow’s spoken word composition, a hypnotic barrage of words and images about post-9/11 America. Dongo, a Massachusetts Native, started making films as a fifteen-year-old. His freshman year of college, “The Countdown” was heralded as one of 12 projects at the 8th Annual Media That Matters Film Festival.
