SOCM Film Festival Winners

 

Under the leadership of Dr. Sangsun Choi, the School of Communication and Media hosted the first KSU film festival on April 28. A judges panel of industry professionals and faculty members from other universities selected the top entries of those submitted for the festival. Thirteen student-produced short films were featured and attracted 130 attendees to the screening event. Featured film producers participated in a Q&A session after the film screenings.
