Student Films

From action-packed thrillers to clever animations, and from coming-of-age stories to whimsical worlds, watch some of the outstanding projects created by film students across all years and disciplines in the School of Filmmaking.

UNCSA student films are created in the course of the students’ filmmaking studies. UNCSA encourages creativity and experimentation in filmmaking, but the ideas and opinions in the films are solely those of the student filmmakers. The films are not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America and may contain content that is not appropriate for younger viewers, and may be objectionable to some viewers.
