The purpose of the Summer Film Project is to nurture the creative talent and professionalism of film-interested students and to provide them with the opportunity to work on a real-life, student-driven feature production.
Started in 2017, the Summer Film Project is a three-semester project engaging film students and faculty. In the spring, a student script is submitted, and the key members of the film (producer, director, set design, screenwriter and cinematographer) select the film and work on the pre-production.
Each summer, film students in the Department of Communication and Media have the opportunity to film a student script in and around the city of Beaumont, Texas. The following fall, a select group of students completes the editing of the film as work on the premiere, distribution and awards submissions.
