Proud of FMS student Sofia Menniti, recently selected as 1 of 30 undergrads nationwide for the @SBIFF Film Studies Program! She attended panels, red carpets, award ceremonies & a private filmmaker Q&A. This is what film education looks like. 🎬 #OUFMS #SBIFF #WomenInFilm

Late to the party, but huge thanks to our FMS majors, minors, and guests at the Back to School Party! Loved seeing new and returning faces spark friendships and creative collabs. Here’s to a vibrant fall semester!

Congratulations to FMS major Kaden Wittig and recent FMS graduate Eli Bigler for having their films UP(LIFTING) and BLUNT FORCE accepted into the 2025 @circlecinema Film Festival! We’re very proud of these two for their work on their films as well as their time with us!

It’s been a busy year at FMS, with lots of screenings and activities making their rounds.

One of our favorite memories from the year was our visit from filmmaker Don Michael Paul, who lead a three day short film workshop with our majors and minors.
