Jaylin Murphy won first place for the Best Short Narrative Film – General in the Atlanta Metropolitan State College “Bring your Brilliance Short File Festival”.
Jaylin is a member of Hillside Presbyterian Church. His great-aunt, Rev. Rita Dixon was privileged to attend the awards ceremony. Rev. Dixon said that Jaylin "expressed gratitude for all who nurtured him. Of course that includes Hillside. Jarda Alexander's speech classes, the Christmas plays, and Scripture reading opportunities, Sunday School classes, snacks in the Fellowship Hall, and all the work of the church is paying off. He handled himself well. I think something from Rev Lawson (his first pastor) inspired some of his confidence and passion for what he is doing. It was obvious that he was very proud of this award and saw it as the first of many. I was awed at his boldness. He said that all of us share in his success."
