Th third annual MorristownGreen.com film festival took place on the lawn of St. Peter's Episcopal Church on South Street Friday. The film festival featured aspiring filmmakers, musicians and artists from the Morristown area. 

MorristownGreen.com editor Kevin Coughlin organized the event. Saint Peter's Episcopal Church hosted the festival on its front lawn. The church grounds were packed with guests sitting on blankets and lawn chairs enjoying the festivities. Those in attendance were able to vote for their favorite short film shown at the festival, as well.

Eric Ruhalter's "Good for the Earth" won best picture at the festival. Ruhalter, of Morristown, left with a towering trophy, courtesy of Rios' Engraving of Morristown, and tickets to the fall season of the New York Film Critics series in Morristown. 

Musical entertainment was provided by a young group of musicians called Boys Nyte (Formerly Boys Night Out). All the members are 12 years old and are students at Frelinghuysen Middle School. 

They have been performing together for three years with the exeption of guitarist and drummer Domenico Randazzo, who joined the group four months ago when manager and founder of Boys Nyte, David Jorge, saw him perform solo and felt Randazzo was the missing ingredient the group needed to take it to the next level, he said.

Jorge, a retired professional drummer, put together Boys Nyte when he heard the boys three years ago when they were 9 years old and decided to begin teaching them and coaching their practices. 

Boys Nyte does not have a Web site yet, but can be found on YouTube. In October 2009 Boys Nyte entered and won a music contest at the world famous Apollo Theater in New York. The boys also won second place in the "Morristown's Got Talent" show earlier this year.

Also at the festival was cartoonist Fred Caracci, who had a table full of his artwork. He attended the Joe Kubert school of Cartooning in Dover and is a freelance cartoonist who teaches at a Morristown art school. 

"I have been drawing cartoons since I could hold a crayon," he said. "I would study the newspaper cartoons and would draw all the time." 

Diana Wilcox took second place–good for a tripod from Sandrian Camera and tickets to The Community Theatre–for "A New Day," a documentary on the Morristown Church of the Redeemer's youth mission trip to Louisiana. 

Third place went to Kevin Ruth, of Morris Plains, for his music video, "Way Too Young." He won tickets to see "An Evening with Kevin Smith" at The Community Theatre.
