NC Film and Video Festival: Best Dramatic Short Film award for SISTERS FROM APEX
"Finally, among 1995's top prize winners, there was Andrea DeGette's "Sisters" from Apex, the best dramatic short and a film I found as indescribable as it was absolutely captivating. It's rare to see a film so possessed of its own poetic logic that you know you' still be discovering things about it on the 2nd, 5th or 15th viewing, but DeGette's hypnotic memory-play has that distinction...it radiated the bracing sense of a filmmaker testing the limits and possibilities of film language."
--Godfrey Cheshire

Owner and operator Andrea DeGette started with film production at NYU film school and developed her Video In The Classroom in schools all over NYC. She brought this program to NC in 1994 where she has worked with public and private school students all over the state through DAC and NC Arts Council. Her dedication to arts education has been a driving force in the community and many of her former students continue to work in digital media and education. Some even come back to work with us at MAX. She is also dedicated to high quality digital and photographic processes that excite the mind and the senses. Now is the time for change to happen!

Andrea DeGette is a 4th generation Coloradan who has been living in North Carolina since 1993. The daughter of an architect and actress cum kindergarten teacher, DeGette has embraced art and education from an early age. Her passion for education reform was inherited from her mother and her photographic vision from her father. DeGette dreams of the day when education emphasizes media literacy from pencil, paint, clay to all forms of digital media production. In her estimation only then will today's students (of all ages) will be ready to challenge the lowest norms which threaten our ability to think for ourselves in this growing culture of consumerism.
