The <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/penstolens.com\/\">Pens To Lens<\/a> competition began in February 2013, with the goal of creating an outlet for K-12 students to participate in the local film community. Students submitted original screenplays that could then be developed into short films. During their first year, the competition received over 100 original screenplay submissions from students ranging from ages 5-18. \u00a0The Champaign Movie Makers (CMM) produced nine original films from the submissions, and the Champaign-Urbana Design Organization created movie posters. CMM has inspired young writers and made their stories come alive. (And who wouldn&#8217;t love that!) The submissions were entered and the judges picked a winner. A red carpet gala followed wherein screenwriters, their families, and the crew were able to see their final project on the big screen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Magnanimous Media assisted a film and media production company in Champaign, IL,<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/shatterglassstudios.com\/\">The Shatterglass Studios<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">, with the necessary equipment in order to make the production possible. \u00a0Magnanimous Media shot a behind-the-scenes mini documentary filming the production of \u00a0\u201cThe Doughnut Dance\u201d.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/magnanimousrentals.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-29-at-2.19.32-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-197 lazyload\" title=\"Pens To Lens BTS\" data-src=\"http:\/\/magnanimousrentals.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Screen-Shot-2014-07-29-at-2.19.32-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1084\" height=\"1082\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1084px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1084\/1082;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r2nZc0rL9m4?list=UU18wjy1uZhTsrP_7Rj7On7A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe Doughnut Dance\u201d is a short film about the battle over the last doughnut in a small cafe in Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe data-src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/102683477\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/102683477\">The Doughnut Dance (A Pens to Lens Short)<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">from<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/shatterglass\">Shatterglass Studios<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">on<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jason Knade (director) and Ben McBurnett (director of photography) truly captured the fun and excitement of an old-fashioned food fight with a splash of \u201cSaving Private Ryan\u201d cinematography.
