A special movie night is coming to Trinity Western University (TWU) on Oct. 16 where high school students will be able to meet
TWU alumni and see the films they made. One of those former students is 91原创 resident Justin Smith who graduated from
TWU in 2014 and has already found a job in his field.
Hosted by the School of Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) at TWU, the event will feature a showing of the best short films made by
TWU students followed by a panel of filmmakers who will answer questions about screenwriting, directing, animation, and other aspects of the field.
Smith will have his film New on the Job shown.
芒鈧揟hat was 2012 [when I made that film],芒鈧� Smith said. 芒鈧揝o second year of university for me.芒鈧�
The comedy was an award winner when Smith was a TWU student.
The film fest event will entertain high school students, but more importantly, give them an understanding of what it takes to be part of the film making industry.

Smith wants students to see film芒鈧劉s many elements.
芒鈧揊ilm is a really interesting art in that it takes so many elements of the liberal arts,芒鈧� he said. 芒鈧揑t pulls together all these things to make one piece. All these people come together to create it.芒鈧�
Creating a film requires the efforts of writers, actors, editors, producers, and many other talents.

When asked what he hopes the students who attend the TWU film fest will get out of the evening, he noted, 芒鈧揟here will be those film makers there芒鈧� interested in the process. Sometimes it芒鈧劉s after you芒鈧劉ve watched it [a film] you can kind of say there was something interesting there.芒鈧�
