Please join us for an evening of films by 3rd Year SCA filmmakers. The 3rd Year in the SCA's Film Area's program is a fast-paced production year focused on process-driven filmmaking. This means that students don't typically work from a synopsis toward a film, but instead create a film in an open process, with a synopsis emerging as the film reveals itself.
With films by Aria Amirmoini, Goran Arenas, Sherine Chan, Erin Mae Docherty, Dana Elizondo Pulido, Mason Flint, Megan Gibbons, Lianne Guo, Siobhan Heritage, Maggie Johnson, Mikayla Luchinski, Ryan McEarchen, Akhil J. Narayanan, Sol茅ne Pango Salas, Cheryl Shiu, Aubin Spitzer, and Maya Wong.
