Enjoy this documentary film project created by the talented Howitt Middle School Filmmaking Club.

Over 30 student filmmakers participated throughout the year, each bringing their unique talents and vision to the project. The club, comprised of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, took the project from pre-production (planning/research) to production (filming/interviewing) to post-production (editing).

The young filmmakers interviewed administrators, teachers, and students to answer, "What is a Daler?" The Filmmaking Club aims to showcase the uniqueness of Farmingdale through this short film, encouraging everyone to take pride in being part of the Daler community
