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.

“Kodak recognized the
growing strength of our
program, and they want
to support the students
we are trying to educate
about film.”
LAURA KISSEL
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN USC’S ART
DEPARTMENT
Kodak’s Student Filmmaker
Program, said in a news release
that by rewarding excellent pro
grams, Kodak helps film schools
“to undertake production projects
beyond their normal budgetary
scope and will enrich the educa
tional experience of future film
makers.”
Kissel said she has high hopes
for the future of USC’s filmmak
ers.
“My hope is that the quality of
the work just keeps getting
stronger every year and that the
students keep challenging each
other to make better, more pro
voking, interesting work,” she
said.
