CACC Filmmaking students stepped onto the set of "Alpha-Gal", a Stephens College production filmed at Café Berlin, and got a front-row seat to the art of filmmaking.

The story follows a woman living with alpha-gal syndrome who, after losing the ability to eat most mammals, takes a dark and unusual turn—using ticks to infect others in a misguided attempt to change how people eat.

Directed by Stephens Film Instructor Chase Thompson, with Oscar-nominated cinematographer Nathan Truesdell as Director of Photography, the set was buzzing with talent and insight.

Our students didn’t just watch—they shadowed the crew, asked questions, and even worked as extras.

A great day of learning and a little movie magic! 🎥
