Hi all - Occasionally I get contacts from folks in the University theatre community about opportunities to check out their programs and schools.  This is one of those times!

 It's time to announce our fall project: the... FOUND FOOTAGE FILM FESTIVAL Outline: Welcome to the First Found Footage Film Festival!  (SW)2 is proud to host this first edition of what might end up a recurring part of the (SW)2 season, even after COVID takes a step back and we can start to resume a more traditional collection of events. The Found Footage Film Festival, or as I’ll refer to it the F4, is a collaboration of small teams to write, direct, shoot, edit, and screen short films in the vein of found-footage movies like The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity, or District 9.  Your task will be to fill a role (writer, director, actor, production crew) as a part of a team to create a maximum 10 minute movie for a film festival opening December 4th!   Timeline:         Project Blog: wilsondramaF4.blogspot.com ; info will post here as the project goes forward           Info Session: Friday, October 16 at 300pm;                     Zoom Link: https://pps-net
