Five ¾¨Ó㴫ý students will premiere their short documentary projects at the 2016 ¾¨Ó㴫ý Documentary Showcase beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3, in Mueller Theater.
The projects explore a variety of topics, people, and places as the students engaged in research, interviews, and production. Students began research and pre-production last January. The documentary course spans two semesters.
Links to the trailers for each student’s digital film can be found below:
The Gift of Motherhood by Kellen Gursky,
A Journey Down Academy Avenue by Connor Hamilton,
Land of the Living Dead by Zac Hynus,
What’s Behind the Trees? by Doltyn Snedden,
Re-Stripped by Dan Swank,
"The documentary project requires each student to take on the role of a full-time producer and director challenging them as young media professionals," said Bradley Weaver, broadcast and media production lecturer. "The process forces them manage, think critically, and use their vision to create a compelling story."
Each student will also submit their work to a festival or peer-reviewed competition.
