(COLUMBIA, Tenn. – April 10, 2020) - - -Columbia State Community College’s Film Crew Technology students produced a music video that was an official selection at six film festivals this past fall.

The music video “What She’ll Never Know,” was accepted into Rome International Film Festival (Georgia), Southeastern International Film & Music Festival (Tennessee), Franklin International Indie Film Festival (Tennessee), Georgia Film Festival (Georgia), Chattanooga State Film Festival (Tennessee) and South Georgia Film Festival (Georgia).

Work that is shown at film festivals gains exposure to the professional circuit and gives students credibility when seeking jobs and internships.

“Professionals judge submissions that get into the festival,” said David Smith, Columbia State Film Crew Technology program director. “The work our film crew students produce is being recognized by the industry as quality work.”

Students in the FCT program have access to professional-level gear including cameras, lighting, studios and a grip truck.
