The films you will see on May 4, 2011 are the senior film projects and were selected by an independent jury of industry professionals.

Film Showcase

"Carousel," Nicole Owen, Director
"Absolution," Aaron Blum, Director
"If We Don't Go," Adam Ramirez, Director
"Giddy Up Grandma," Travis Marlett- Director (Arri 35mm Project)

These films were completed in the senior level film production course in the Department of Cinema and Television Arts and are the capstone projects. This culminating experience decreases the gap between academic training and the rigors of the professional world. It also gives the advanced film student an opportunity to produce a Super 16 or 35mm motion picture of substance.

All of the films were written, produced and directed by students in the Film Production Option under the guidance of the film production faculty with funding provided by the California State University, Northridge Associated Students Instructionally Related Activities Fund, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The students must raise any additional monies needed and are given the creative freedom to produce what they wish. It is their persistence and tireless dedication that we salute with this screening. For the filmmakers honored tonight this will be the first public presentation of their work. Your response to their projects will be the first test of their endeavors.

The Film Production Option is proud to acknowledge our continued association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. In addition to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Senior Film Edit Suite in Manzanita Hall, they have provided state-of-the-art digital location sound equipment for our senior film students and have recently provided Pro Tools hardware and software upgrades to our ADR/Foley/Music Scoring Studio and our Film Surround Sound Mix Studio. This facility has just been named the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Film Mix Studio. Also, our student directors this evening have the distinction of being Hollywood Foreign Press Association Fellows.

We are also proud of our relationship with Arri, Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of motion picture equipment and cameras. CTVA Alumnus and Arri, Inc. Vice-President Bill Russell has been instrumental in the development of The Arri 35mm Project, a program which provides a 35mm motion picture experience to a selected CSUN senior film group each semester. The films screening tonight, "Giddy Up Grandma," --Director,Travis Marlett-- (Arri 35mm Project) is a participant in the program.

Afterwards, join us for the reception and live music. We look forward to seeing you at 2011 CSUN Senior Film Showcase!
