Aliens invaded Delbarton on May 8, 2012. Or at least they appeared to in Will Nixon's Freshman Project on movie-making. Nixon's project -- the yearlong assignment required of all freshmen -- was to write, direct, produce and, yes, even appear in a short independent film about his first year at Delbarton. Click here for The Firsts.

Aliens invaded Delbarton on May 8, 2012. Or at least they appeared to in Will Nixon's Freshman Project. Nixon's project -- the yearlong assignment required of all freshmen -- was to write, direct, produce and, yes, even appear in a short independent film. The subject: his first year at Delbarton.

His six minute, thirty eight second flick The Firsts, starring his classmate Michael Berry '15 playing Will Nixon, packs a lot of wallop, including impressive special effects and the staggering acting abilities of several Delbarton teachers (Mr. Ross, your performance gave us chills. Br. Kevin, get to Hollywood...now).

Teachers and administrators who saw the film this week at Nixon's presentation in the Quiet Study were blown away by the maturity and technical skill of our young cinematographer. We think you will be impressed too. Check out Will Nixon's film The First here.

We look forward to more movies from young filmmaker Will Nixon which we promise (with his permission) to share with the Delbarton community. Go Wave Cinema!
