Filmmaker James McSherry, who teaches film at Lehman High School, won several awards for his new short ‘Poetry Man’.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

James McSherry<\/a>\u00a0was back teaching at\u00a0Lehman High School<\/a>\u00a0this week, far from the smog and glitz of L.A., where his independent movie won its seventh top award at a major film festival.<\/p>\n

“I’m so proud of this film,” said McSherry, 48. “It tells a story from my life, a story about the\u00a0Bronx<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The shoestring-budget short “Poetry Man” – about a childhood pal who went to jail for murder – won the President’s Award at last weekend’s Burbank International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

It also has won honors at the\u00a0Manhattan<\/a>\u00a0Film Festival, the\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0Movie Awards, the\u00a0Long Island<\/a>\u00a0Film Expo and the\u00a0Jersey Shore<\/a>\u00a0Film Festival.<\/p>\n
