Danville High School's Angel Aquino Places in Top Three of National Video Contest

Danville High School student, Angel Aquino, was named a top three finalist in the American Bankers Association’s “Lights, Camera, Save!” video contest. Aquino's video, 'Stock Market', highlights the importance of smart investing. The video features Aquino's classmate, Zadeen Fischer. It was entered into the national competition by Farmers National Bank of Danville, Kentucky, after winning first place in a local contest.

The video was selected as the third-best entry from submissions by 350 banks across 47 states and Washington, D.C. Marty Gibson, CEO of Farmers National Bank, commended the contest for promoting financial literacy among students. He was pleased to see a local student receive recognition.

Aquino, interested in filmmaking, was encouraged to participate in the contest by his media arts teacher, Brent Beauman. Aquino chose the stock market as his video's subject, aiming for effective portrayal and visual appeal.

The “Lights, Camera, Save!” contest invites teens aged 13 to 18 to make a short video, up to 30 seconds long, about wise money use. It welcomes participants of all experience levels. Aquino's 'Stock Market Video' is available on the Farmers National Bank YouTube page.
