Senior Brett Jones won Best Emerging Student Documentary at the Tallgrass Film Festival on Sunday.

More than 2,000 films in total were submitted to the festival. They were shown in theaters and venues across Wichita.

Jones submitted a short film of senior Kennedy Brown, a varsity basketball player, who is a 5-star recruit.

“I decided to do my film on Kennedy because it is such a unique story and person,” said Jones, who is the video editor for the yearbook. “There are only 16 or 17 five stars in the country; they are extremely rare.”
