Aaron Walker, assistant professor of communication, said the festival is an opportunity for UT students both to screen their work and to curate the best work of their peers.“It’s fully student-run, so it shows how deeply the students care about celebrating the strong work of their peers, but also shows how much desire there is for our FMA students to create venues of success for one another,” Walker said. “It’s a terrific collaboration, and will be a terrific party for film. Plus, the movies are great.”Mary McCune, UT film student, vice president of the Film Society, and director of the festival, is pleased to provide an opportunity for UT student filmmakers to be recognized for their achievements in film.There will be five category awards given out: best picture, best drama, best comedy, best documentary and jury award.
