Media arts students look for national acclaim BY ASHLEE RICKARD TIIEUAMKCOCK USC media arts students are go ing places. In fact, they have trav eled all over the world to show off their artistic talents in festivals, contests and symposiums. USC assistant media arts pro fessor Laura Kissel said all stu dents should enter the contests and festivals to show their work and exhibit their skills. In addi tion, it gives students a broader audience to view their work. “When students receive recog nition, it benefits them,” said Kissel, who is also a filmmaker and media artist. “Our students don’t get enough recognition." Last year, a group of students in the Film Production I class pro duced a short film titled “Developments," which won Best Short Narrative at the Kalamazoo Short Film and Video Festival. “Developments” was also en tered into seven other festivals across the nation. Angelique Gibson, who is now a graduate teaching assistant at USC, was one of the producers of “Developments." She said the ex perience was extremely beneficial. Aside from winning $50 at the Kalamazoo festival, “It means an awful lot to put it on a resume — it’s a big high to know people liked your work," she said. “The more films you put out, the more im portant your name becomes." Even though many students en ter festivals and contests, there isn’t enough participation, Kissel said. “I always want there to be more — there aren’t as many as I would like," she said. However, Gibson said a lot of students don’t enter these contests because they think they won’t get in, but she assures them this isn’t true. “There are so many different festivals. It’s hard not to find one to get into,” she said. Not only do these contests and festivals afford students the op portunity to have other people view their work, but it gives them the chance “to have professional experience and to network with professionals," Kissel said. Former student Joey Hall was one of a few students who traveled abroad to international film festi vals in which he had submitted his work. Going to the festivals gave him the chance to participate in the numerous events and par ties held for the entrants, and he also met with professionals, Kissel said. Not only do the students bene fit from the film festivals, but USC gains recognition as well, Kissel said. “Our program is getting recog nition because of these festivals and because of our faculty," Kissel said. “We are increasing visibili ty — everyone can see how great (the media arts program) is." The media arts degree program encompasses production and the ory in the world of media, which includes film, video, screenwrit ing, photography, Web and audio. “We aren’t a film school," she said. “In today’s world, you don’t want one skill. We prepare students in any area of media enterprise, making them more employable.” Students go on to work in Hollywood companies and news stations, as well as many other me dia arts careers. The next stop for the media arts students will be the Nickelodeon Theatre, where their films will be screened May 7 at noon.
