of The Golden Statue Awards where five local “celebrities” will take home awards for Best Supporting Actor/Actress and Best

“We can’t wait to celebrate the excitement of the Oscars with our local community while raising support for Trenton-area youth
who benefit from Arts Education in film and media”, said Founder and CEO Joseph Halsey. “The future of our youth is the future
of our community. Access to quality arts programs and workforce development opportunities to support a career in the
filmmaking arts opens doors to achievement and paves the way for a future where all voices are heard.” The James R. Halsey
Foundation of the Arts supports the rich diversity of the Greater Mercer County Community and seeks to utilize film as a vehicle
for the widespread discussion of difficult social issues. Students take part in the creation of film documentaries that become a
catalyst for change within their local communities.
