Two local filmmakers explain to Illinois Public Media's Brian Moline what drew them to choose their screenplays from among 200 submissions from area students for this year's Pens to Lens event.

Imagine being a local student and seeing a screenplay that you wrote appearing on the big screen at Champaign's Virginia Theatre.  Twenty area K-12 students will have that opportunity this Saturday at the Third Annual Pens to Lens Gala.
