Student Film: The Movie
Coming soon!
Clemson's first feature film is the centerpiece of a World Cinema film production course made possible by a grant from the South Carolina Film Commission. Led by two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer and Professor of Practice Sam Sokolow (National Geographic & Disney+’s "Genius"), the production course teamed students on both sides of the camera with talent from recognizable titles including "Forest Gump", "Modern Family", "The Hunger Games", and more.
