DIRECTORS WANTED!

In Spring 2013, actor James Franco is scheduled to teach a production class along with his business partner, Vince Jolivette.

Eight students -- selected during the fall 2012 semester -- will each direct a short film of approximately 10 minutes, based on the following premise:

‘The Labyrinth: a compendium of character-based original short stories, exploring the unknown, the unexplained and the unimaginable’.

-Undergraduate Production students must have completed CTPR 480 and one of these courses: CTPR 475, 476 or 477 by the end of the Spring 2012 semester.

-Non-production students may apply by submitting a directing reel AND be nominated by Everett Lewis, Directing Track Head of the Production Division.

SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES:

Production students who wish to apply should follow the same process for submission to 546 or 480.
