Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State University’s Big Lens Film Festival will showcase the 2021 and 2022 graduates of WSU’s award-winning Motion Pictures program tonight at the Dixie Twin Drive-In, 6201 N. Dixie Dr., Dayton.
The lineup of student films will incorporate comedy, drama, silent film and documentary.
“The films showing at this year’s Big Lens Film Festival are the best of what Motion Pictures students have to offer,” said Jeremy Bolden, WSU instructor of motion picture production for the Tom Hanks Center for Motion Pictures. “The content is diverse and really reflects the range of students in the program. All films screening were juried by a group of film and television industry professionals, having surpassed thresholds in technical and creative quality.”
“It’s our year-end celebration of creation,” Bolden added. “It’s a celebration of our Motion Pictures students and their accomplishments as well as a thank you to the Dayton community. All of our films receive some level of support from the community, whether it be actors, locations, food, props, wardrobe, vehicles, etc. Nothing we do really gets made without the community.”
Gates open at 7:30 p.m. Films will be shown at 8:30 p.m. Suggested donation is $10.
