Film and Video - Summer Film Project
The Summer Film Project, founded in 1995, brings students, faculty and industry professionals together on the production of a film. The preproduction and filming takes place in the summer session. The fall semester is devoted to postproduction where students complete the film and prepare for its premiere at a local movie theatre and enter it into film festivals across the country. See these award-winning films as well as the stories behind each production.
