Join us for the premiere of several engaging and topical short films produced by students in the Blue Horizons Summer Program for Environmental Media. During this nine-week summer program, students learn elements that are essential to producing documentary films – from developing a film’s core idea and story, to thinking about its impact on its audiences, to the nuts-and-bolts of video production. After examining the critical issues of our region’s oceans and seashores, students develop their own stories and produce their own short documentaries. This year’s films are “Beyond the Gates,” “Cannabis Row,” “Climacito,” and “Sea Sick.”
The event will be followed by a reception in the Michael Douglas Lobby.
