The Leonetti Family - February
and March 2014 - Italia
L  I  N  K  S



One of my favorite movies
is Nordwand, so it was
SOOOO cool to ski to
Hotel Bellevue des Alpes,
at 2070 meters, which was
a big part of the movie.
The entire area is just
magical - a small village,
with a train station, at this
altitude is amazing.  




Grindelwald, Switzerland
Ski Vacation 2014

I think one of the most
beautiful places I have
ever been. 360` of
gorgeous with the Eiger
RIGHT there.
We kept stopping to take
pictures because
everywhere we turned was
crazy amazing.
So grateful that we had
perfect weather and
wonderful company!

I am off to London on
Friday, get to visit Kerry
and family and work on
Monday. The following
week Sweden.

Right: The view from our
hotel room. Wowzers.

February 2014

The last night we booked
night sledding, we took a
small gondola up, sled an
hour down, total darkness
except for stars, a lot of
faith that there were no
giant ruts and that we
wouldn't go flying off of a
cliff and hoping that there
were no wolves or bears,
or inbred Swiss hillbilly
serial killers and once at
the bottom - we had a
wonderful fondue dinner
with beer.
Right: We stayed at avery
old and cool hotel right in
Interlaken - it was once a
grand hotel which they
converted into a low end
hotel - almost like a hostel
but not as terrifying, but I
suspect a bit haunted.  






I always LOVE spending
time with the
Gilbert-Gilhome family.
If this picture doesn't put a
smile on your face nothing
will. #darling

Zaven's Film Festival:
The ASM Film students
won 3 top awards at the
European Student Film
Festival this weekend:

Best Director for "Phobias"
by the IB Film Juniors :
(Zaven was one of them
and is a sophomore). The
panel of online judges and
film industry professionals
commented that the film
showed clear evidence of
carefully planning and
pre-visualization that was
essential to it's success.
Each of the student's in
the IB Juniors class took
the role of Director for
each of the film's 8 scenes.

The Audience Choice
Award for "Phobias": This
award was given as a
result of a survey of the
online judges, other film
teachers attending the
festival and the 130
students who viewed the
film in Annecy's local
cinema the night before.
The festival's organizer,
Benjamin Botorff
commented to the
students "We were really
glad to have ASM bring
comedy to the festival this
year!"

Winner of the 24 Hour Film
Challenge

Yay Zaven and ASM IB
