September is indeed a bold sign that there is a big celebration to honor and that is the "Science month!"
By understanding and observation, as part of the commemoration, the teacher adviser Sir Erl Camano, gave all 6 sections of Grade 11 students of ELJ Center for Media Arts Senior High School a requirement to make a short film that has a theme caring for the mother nature.
This requirement was given at the very beginning of the 1st semester of the school year and expected to submit and finish everything before it finally ends.

Luckily, there are 6 beautiful and creative entries that was produced and competed for the following special set of awards.
But for those who are not aware, this was actually its third year.
Yes. It started way back 2016, same month.
The two previous competition, including this year's awarding of "3rd Kalikasan Film Festival: Tagisan ng Paglikha ng Pelikula", was graced at the Quezon City, High School, last 27th of September 2018.
Next year, expect that the ELJ will stand alone. This is because for those years the ELJ Center for Media Arts, Senior High School was under the supervision of one principal.
Just to give you an idea, the only entry that was different when it comes to the narratives was "Sa Lupang Sinilangan," which has a storytelling patterned to a documentary.
For the minor awards "Baka Bukas" were given a "Best in Art" award.
But the one that stood out for the "Best Poster" was taken home by "Sa Lupang Sinilangan".
While the one that communicated well with the movie teaser were gotten by "I'll Follow The Sun" won the "Best Trailer" award along with "Best in Original Soundtrack".
The other awards were given to "Baka Bukas" for winning the "Best in Musical Scoring".
And the much awaited "Major Awards" were given to the following movie entries beginning with...
"Best Actor" award were given to "John Selwyn Rosales" from the short film entry "Lusong".
Of course, if there's an award given to the Actor, there's also something that was given to the female lead actress. The "Best Actress" award were taken home by lead actress "Zonia Mejia" from "Rosoideae".
Some exciting awards given were the "Best in Cinematography" received by "Sa Lupang Sinilangan".
But for the "Best in Screenplay" were taken home by the short film "2050: Sa Mata Ng Mga Api".
But the much awaited awards given were the "Best Picture".
Beginning with "2015: Sa Mata Ng Mga Api" for the "3rd Best Picture".
"Lusong" won the "2nd Best Picture" along with a very special award "DENR Choice".
The best thing about this award was the very opportunity to let this short film seen by other students from different schools in the Philippines. There was actually a clear plan that "Lusong" will be with the "Green Films", to be shown in the SM North, Edsa this October.
Actually a great honor for the ELJ and an honor too for the Grade 11, Digital students who made this very special film.
But this year, the "Best Picture" award was given to "I'll Follow The Sun"!
But the big twist was the "Best Directorial Job" award were outside the short films awarded with "Best Picture"..."Sa Lupang Sinilangan" which was won by "Strawberry Ni Jonathan".
ELJ Center for Media Arts Senior High School is expected to have new set of exciting entries next year. This is more exciting because a new blood will be showcasing their short film entries.
This will surely be done by new set of students who will be part of ELJ.
