Mark Colson, assistant professor of media acting, said the students will be showcasing three different types of films — “me monologues,” music videos and a character study film.

Theatre junior Melissa Mercieca said the different types of categories offer students more creative outlets.

“Our first project was a ‘me monologue,’ where we all tell our own stories in some way,” Mercieca said. “It was cool to get a creative insight into peoples’ lives.”

Colson said he encourages them to write films that have meaning to them.

“Their work is really on a high level in terms of film production,” Colson said. “The biggest thing they have is solid storytelling.”

Theatre senior Matt Land said the class often has students who are new to the production process.

The Film Fest will be the first time they present their work.

“(For) a lot of people in the class, this is their first class or project dealing with creating content ourselves,” Land said.
