Nominations & Awards Fall 2020

This has been an extraordinary term, taught completely in a remote setting with social distancing measures and equipment limitations. This posed a significant challenges that our students rose up to and saw as unique opportunities to be incredibly creative. We have also changed the rubric to allow for students more flexibility by making two different versions of the final project, Option 1 an individual or group original film, or Option 2 an individual re-editing project of an existing film.

Here are the films nominated by Sam, Jay and Susan into the final screening. These are not the best films but the films that we believe had unique elements or reflects certain qualities worthy of being showcased. All the teams have put in considerable effort into the completion of their final films. Some have succeeded in achieving their visions, some have failed. Regardless, the teams should all be proud of the work they’ve done.

Please visit the Fall 2020 Film Catalog to see all the talent, the blood, the sweat, and the tears the Summer 19 class has to offer.

The Technical Awards categories celebrate technical achievements and are nominated and judged by the instruction staff and expert panel. These awards are set to be aligned with the prescribed learning outcomes of the course.

Unlike the Technical Awards, the Audience Choice awards are awarded to talent that are beyond the scope of the class. Those include awards for audience choice, acting, and genre awards. These awards are nominated by the teaching staff and are voted on by the class at the final screening.
