Filmmaking

COURSE OVERVIEW

This is an introductory‑level course focused on empowering student filmmakers to utilize everyday technology (i.e., their own smartphones) to tell visual stories that resonate with their personal experience and/or professional goals. Each student is invited to make a short film that is 5 minutes or shorter in duration throughout the semester in a genre of their choosing. Cross‑film collaboration is encouraged and students are welcome to team up. Classes are held in a hybrid format, both in person and on Zoom, and students have access to editing software and computers. The course semester concludes with an in‑person screening and discussion of each student’s completed film.
