We couldn't be more proud of our Video Production students for taking home 1st Place at the Lake Charles Film Festival! They competed against student-produced films from across the country and got the top honor. "One Last Take" was produced in the spring with the help of program mentor, Michael McGowan, and these students learned so much in lighting, cinematography, and storytelling. Congratulations!
