Phi Kaps Win Coveted "Golden Doorknob"

On April 17th 2010, a film made by several brothers from the chapter received the $2,000 first place prize at the "Skip Landen Golden Doorknob Awards", an annual film festival held in the Park School of Communications at Ithaca College.

The essential criteria for submission are - films must be 5 minutes long, have a beginning middle and end, and must feature someone being killed by a doorknob.

The event is held every year in Park's auditorium, and was, of course, standing room only.

• Sam Patton '12 (Writer/Producer)
• Chris Fatta '13 (Sound Department)
• Matt Szondy '10 (Actor - The Doctor)
• Matt Feminella '13 (Actor - Guy In Bathroom)

The film went from script to submission in 16 days thanks to the hardwork and dedication of everyone involved.
