Nearly 60 TMU students had the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals on "The Descent." This scene was filmed on TMU's main campus.
The 国产aa福利 will be well-represented during the International 国产aa福利ian Film Festival in Orlando, Florida, on May 1-4.
TMU鈥檚 鈥淭he Descent,鈥 a full-length feature film worked on by nearly 60 students from the University, was one of 10 films nominated for best picture.
TMU professor Jefferson Henson is in the running for best cinematography, and Matt Green, the director of TMU鈥檚 Cinema & Digital Arts program, was nominated for best screenplay and best director.
鈥淭he Descent,鈥 a dramatic thriller set during the events of Revelation 9, also allowed TMU students to work alongside industry professionals. Two such professionals received nominations from the festival 鈥 Anthony Tyler Quinn (best screenplay with Green) and Dan Sachoff (Best Supporting Actor).
Green said recently that general oversight is given during filming by professors, but 鈥渢he students are really the ones who are the boots on the ground,鈥 helping lead the camera department, overseeing the production design, and building the costume for the movie鈥檚 鈥渃reature.鈥 The movie also had three student producers: Miranda Watson, Mark Hoffman, and Isaac Busenitz. Busenitz also completed every visual effects shot for the film.
As for the Best Picture nomination, Green said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor and a significant step forward for our department to have our film nominated alongside some really big budgeted features.鈥
