Filmmaking Club Budget

FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)

Each semester, the filmmaking club teaches its new members the basics of HD video and super-8 mm film. We also host demonstrations on editing, lighting, sound, and animation. With these skills and this filmmaking vocabulary, we set out to produce at least one student-written/directed film each semester. We offer a venue for students to display their work, also, at our annual student film festival held in the spring, which anticipates a more national scale in the upcoming year.
