Entertainment - Mansfield, Connecticut, United States
A collaborative group of creative students who make films and let their ideas run wild at the University of Connecticut.The UConn Film Club was founded in the Spring of 2016 with the goal of providing a place for students to both learn about the narrative filmmaking process and work on their own original productions. The university does not yet have a dedicated filmmaking program, and our purpose is to fill that gap, and create a larger filmmaking community at UConn.Each semester we create a couple professional short films. We pitch ideas and then vote on what scripts to write. Next, members take on different roles in the film production process- directing, producing, camera work, lighting, costumes, design, etc. Finally, we edit the final films for the end of the semester to present at a UConn screening and local festivals. Each of their projects are led by a Director, Producer, and Cinematographer, who are not only responsible for the creation of the film, but also to train newer members in the film production process so they can lead their own projects in future semesters. Our films represent the work of dozens of undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Connecticut across a variety of disciplines.
