Go behind the scenes of the UNCSA film archives and the student projectionist work-study program. Follow third-year student Owen Ray as he shares the meticulous craft of caring for and projecting physical film — a rare skill today that has helped UNCSA alumni land professional projectionist roles for major 70mm releases.

Five alumni and students of the School of Design and Production (D&P) at the UNCSA have received or will receive 2026 honors for their work. They include alumni Paul Tazewell (B.F.A. ’86), Gisela Estrada (M.F.A. '23), and Shuyang Zhou (M.F.A. ’25) and students Tzu-Hsuan “Celine” Lin and Cassandra Tuan, who won awards for excellence in costume design, scene design, and wig and makeup design.
