senior project film “Too Much To Ask.”
Film Festival and Benefit
The Best of The Controlled Chaos Film Festival takes place Saturday, August 15, 2015 at the Martin Lipscomb Performing Arts Center in the Highlands.
The festival showcases the best of Western Carolina University student films from its Film and Television Productions Program’s annual campus-based Controlled Chaos Film Festvial.
Students in WCU’s School of Stage and Screen write, direct, act, film, edit and produce the films and incorporate musical compositions created by students in the Commerical and Electronic Music Program and title sequences developed in the School of Art and Design. Genres include comedy, drama, documentary, animated film and promotional pieces.
The Date Night-themed event opens with a reception at 6 p.m. followed by a 90-minute screening at 7 p.m. A two-item live auction during the intermission will give audience members an opportunity to win a 3-minute business or family video created expressly for them by students and faculty in the WCU film and television program, or a featured cameo role in a senior thesis film.
Proceeds from the festival benefit will assist students and making senior project films, which often cost more than $5,000 to create, and in acquiring essential equipment for the program. The cost of admission to this limited seating event is $75 (plus $5 NC sales tax).
Tickets can be purchased at the Highlands Area Chamber of Commerce, the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce, the Highlands Performing Arts Center, or by calling the WCU College of Fine and Performing Arts at (828) 227-7028.
The festival is rated PG-13 for adult language. For more information about the event, visit bccff.wcu.edu.
