Odysseus and the homeschooler

Emily Salva, age 7, of Franklin, TN, is a homeschooled student. She was studying Greek mythology this year. She wound up making this short video for part of a presentation:
She’s responsible for all the graphics and the narration. Emily is seven years old.
This video short was selected to be screened at the 2008 Nashville Film Festival. (I thought this was kind of a big deal, especially since the video that Emily’s Dad entered got turned down.)
Just about all of the entries in this festival were made by adults. No one else even close to her age had an entry in this festival.
Along with being on the local television news, she also got some attention in some area papers.
