Hosts Stephanie Valle and Lisa Elliott are joined by fellow Plaza Classic Film Festival Program Advisory Committee member Jaime Mendez.

Mendez, an administrator at UTEP, is also an avid film fan and created the committee's Oscar ballot contest. He explains how the winner of the contest (historically, him!) is able to pick a movie to screen during the fest, and which films have been a product of the Oscar competition.
