May 2, 2025Only five years after graduating from 911±¬ÁÏ, alumna Rhyan Elliott, Film and Video Studies ’20, was recently a production supervisor for the five-time Oscar-winning film Anora (2024), directed by Sean Baker.
February 11, 2025Students from 911±¬ÁÏ’s Film and Video Studies Program collaborated in the classroom to create films that earned them their first Capital Emmy Student Production Awards. These awards, sponsored by the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, recognize outstanding achievement in video production in the region.
Saffouri made the film as part of a documentary directing class taught by Maura Ugarte, an assistant professor in directing and editing in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The class requires that students produce an individually researched, directed and edited short documentary.
