Our film festival is hosted by students FOR students! We want to highlight the hard work of film students around the country by providing a platform that showcases their talents (and it's free!). Additionally, the top 3 finalists are awarded with some money and a chance to speak with professionals in the field they're interested in.
We are a student organization at VIrginia Commonwealth University that aims to create innovative and professional films to help develop students’ professional skills, build their resumé, and provide networking opportunities. New Surge Productions is completely student run, driven by a mission to provide visibility, remove obstacles, and bring a new wave of change. Each year we task ourselves with at 2-3 films to produce.
To fulfill our goal in giving our peers networking opportunities and insight into the professional world, we work with local professionals and studios to provide tours and opportunities. Allowing our students to learn straight from the source.
