About this Event
515 Calhoun Dr., Clemson, SC 29634, USA
The Clemson World Cinema Department is making a feature film this summer with Award-Winning Hollywood filmmakers at the helm. This professional team has made films and TV series with Disney, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, FOX, NBC, ABC, Sony, TBS and more and they are coming to Clemson to work with Clemson students in a summer 2025 course where the movie will be produced. Students will work on the crew and will act in the movie in all types of roles. If you want to act this groundbreaking Clemson creative experience then this is your chance!
This will be a unique filmmaking experience. We are creating a mockumentary feature film in the spirit of Abbott Elementary, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Spinal Tap – and we want YOU to join us!
Here's the Best Part: No Preparation Is Needed!
That's right – “Student Film: The Movie” will be entirely improvised. All we need is your authentic self and willingness to play. We'll meet you, try some simple improv exercises, and have fun in a supportive environment.
Common Questions Answered:
-"I'm not funny enough..." Perfect! You're exactly who we're looking for. Natural reactions are more valuable than forced comedy.
-"I've never done improv before..." Even better! You won't be constrained by preconceived rules or techniques.
-"I'm trained in traditional acting..." Fantastic! Your ability to stay in character is exactly what we need. Some of our best improvisers have come from traditional acting backgrounds.
-"How does a movie work without a script?" We have a structured outline that guides the story, but we leave plenty of room for organic, unexpected moments – that's where the magic happens!
-"What's the environment like?" We believe creativity thrives in a safe, supportive atmosphere. Our set is a judgment-free zone where everyone can feel comfortable taking risks.
