Welcome New Filmmakers

Some of you have arrived at the Open Frame Film Fest Blog because you have some interest in film and film-making.

The Open Frame is an annual one-night festival that features student films. A few of the student films developed for the Open Frame have gone on to play at other film festivals regionally and nationally. Many of the filmmakers nourished through the Open Frame Film Festival continue to make films professionally or for fun.

Many of the students who have participated in the Open Frame have continued to work in other fields, too -- business, theology, art, music, computer technology, political science and education.

They agree with us that film-making and storytelling is an essential human activity -- one that makes more whole, changes people's vision of reality, and producing pleasure and growth for the filmmakers themselves.

Do you want to join our ranks? Make a film? Help make a film?

There are MANY different roles you can play. All of them flex your storytelling / media producing muscles. If you have made a sundance film already -- or if you've never even made your own legomation -- you can be involved. And if you're interested? You should.

Stop by our table at RUSH (the first evening after classes), come to our informational meeting on September 1st at 7:00 pm in the SILK auditorium, join our facebook group (OPEN FRAME FILM FEST), and feel free to browse the years and years of posts here on this blog!
