Kodak recognizes USC with $2,000 film-production grant Award will help media-arts program lower filmmaking costs BY ALEXIS STRATTON THE GAMECOCK For the second year, USC has been awarded Kodak’s Eastman Product Grant for excellence in film production. The grant, valued at $2,000, takes the form of Kodak motion picture camera film, a major part of a film’s production costs, and will be used by USC’s media-arts program. Kodak recognized the grow ing strength of our program, and they want to support the stu dents we are trying to educate about film,” said Laura Kissel, an assistant professor in USC’s Art Department who wrote Kodak a letter in 2001 describ- * ing USC’s media-arts program. She said USC also won the t Kodak grant last academic year. The Eastman Product Grant | Program, established in 1991, awards between 50 and 60 prod uct grants annually. Since 1991, the program has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants. Kissel said Kodak recognizes both the quality of USC’s pro gram and its growing numbers. “There’s an enormous de mand for film courses,” Kissel said. “I think the fact that Kodak acknowledges our program is a way of deeming it important and significant. I think that has a re flection back on the quality of students.” Angelique Gibson, a fourth year anthropology and media arts student, said last year’s J grant helped her. Using prod ucts from the grant, she and oth er students were able to create a film project that won best short narrative at the } Kalamazoo Film Festival in J Michigan. “There were about 50 entries, and I think only 28 got in,” Gibson said. Gibson said she was surprised wnen ner group learned it had won the award and knew they could not have done so well with out the grant. “I don’t think we would ve been able to achieve that kind of status with out it,” she said. Lisa Muldowney, a represen tative of the Eastman Kodak Company, said Kodak wants to encourage future filmmakers. “With the next generation coming out of school, we want to be there to give them knowledge of how to shoot with film,” she said. “It’s a generation we want to nourish and be a part of, be by men siue as uiey blossom into their careers.” One way Kodak encour ages these stu dents is by easing their film budgets. Kissel said, “Film production is very expensive, and so the grant in film stock helps to ease the cost or to soft en the cost of the extraordinary expense.” Students still have to pay to get the film processed, she said, but the grant money saves them several hundred dollars each semester because they don’t have to purchase the stock.
