WSU Student Organizations
WAZZU FILMS
http://www.wazzufilms.org
WAZZU FILMS is a new student organization at
Washington
State University
created by Nick Bergthold and Ryan Foulkes. The purpose is to
facilitate students in the organization and creation of short and
feature-length films, as well as showcase student and regional films on
campus. We work to produce films while maintaining a degree of
professionalism by providing new learning opportunities to students
through workshops and classes related to filmmaking. Our main priority
is to help students in the production of their films through assistance
with funding, resources, and providing good networking opportunities.
