Alumni Film Series
Join us for these showings of fun, feature-length films created by UNCW Film School grads almost immediately after graduating! A large number of current students and alumni acted in these films or participated in the productions, so expect to see some familiar faces! When you think about your life after graduation, do you imagine going out an making a movie all on your own? Where will you get the money? How do you find people willing to work for free and make them accountable to you, a person who has never made a feature-length film outside of the university setting? What skills will you be able to apply from what you learned in Film School or business classes and what skills will you have to learn from the school of hard knocks? These film directors will tell you about their experiences with these very issues immediately after graduating and will also stay to answer your questions. Sponsored by UNCW Presents.
