Lilia Spiegel, a student at the Coronado School of the Arts, has won an award of recognition from “The Best Shorts Film Competition.”
The award was given for Spiegel’s documentary film, “Low Tech Friend,” which illuminates friendship around the world in the age of social media.
“I am so honored to be recognized by this prestigious award, especially at my age,” said Spiegel. “I directed, filmed and edited this film all on my own because I am passionate about the subject. I organized and conducted interviews with fellow young people across six different countries. I made this film to bring awareness to the most pressing epidemic facing my generation: loneliness.”
The Best Shorts Competition recognizes film, television, videography and new media professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity, and those who produce standout entertainment or contribute to profound social change.
“Low Tech Friend” will be premiering at the Coronado Film Festival on November 8th 2024 at 7pm. For more information visit coronadofilmfest.com.
