Lights, camera, campus! Two student-led short films set for debut May 2 at Eisenhower Auditorium

While most on campus are prepping for final exams and finishing projects, two groups of students are ready to call wraps on their capstone film projects. The students will debut their finished works at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 2, in Eisenhower Auditorium. Doors open at 1 p.m.

The free, public screening will feature the Penn State student films “Earning a Living,” a dark comedy written and directed by Jackson Bonds; and “Muse,” a psychological drama written and directed by Rachel Traub.

Following each film screening, audiences are invited to remain for a 15-minute Q&A with the student filmmakers and production teams. These post-viewing discussions provide a behind-the-scenes look at each project, offering insight into the creative process, production challenges, and thematic intentions behind the films.
