There are lots of perks that come with being parents, but for Robynn and James Reilly, this one was unique: They got to be movie stars. (Sort of.) In "Ball Point," a short film that won last weekend's Best in Show award at the Get Reel Film Festival held at the Tower Theater, the Reillys played a pair of screaming/arguing parents. ("Hey, we've been married 21 years and figured we could adlib something," Robynn Reilly says.)

Her daughter, Hannah, was one of the creative forces behind the two-minute film, along with J. Ross Holly and Peter Thronson. Here's the clip on YouTube:

Robynn Reilly, the proud mom, writes about the Best of Show winners:

All three are 17, all are home schooled, all directed but J. Ross Holly is the main director. He has also produced films for Organic Pastures Dairy Company and California Arts Academy (among others). Peter Thronson is the main actor and developed the film's concept. The screaming/arguing parents in the background are James and Robynn Reilly (hey, we've been married 21 years and figured we could adlib something!), and the music was composed, written, and performed by Hannah Reilly. You can hear the song in its entirety on MySpace by searching Hannah Reilly's music page.

These are three very gifted kids who excel in the arts as well as other subjects. Check out Peter Thronson's MySpace page to hear a song called "Father Father" that will showcase Peter's incredible talents as a musician and songwriter. I have no doubt that Fresno will lay claim to him as a favorite son in the near future. He's destined for something huge. Hannah Reilly is my daughter so I hesitate to brag on her too much but she is a junior in high school who also takes classes at Fresno State. She maintains a 4.0 there and at home and is applying for scholarships to Smittcamp and Stanford, among others. She is a gifted print artist and writer as well, and recently received top ranking (out of 40 students) in a class at Fresno State for an in-depth art critique that she wrote.

The teens who took this seriously enrich us all. It is my hope we can get the word out about this contest and encourage other kids to begin preparing for next year. Fresno has a lot to give and much of it is just coming on to the scene.
