Welcome to the 2019 OTBS Student Film Festival website! This film festival was founded by Sven Shoultz, a worker at On The Bluff Studios.  He felt that students on campus did not have the opportunity to show off their creativity and abilities when it came to film. To make sure students had an opportunity to show off their great films, Sven created the Student Film Festival in 2018.  This next year will be the second Student Film Festival. The festival date is TBA.  Shown below are the different categories of videos as well as general guidelines for the films.  If you have anymore questions please email us at shoultz19@up.edu

Categories: 

Comedy (Narrative): This is for films that have a storyline that not only has a plot but also is funny and creative.

Comedy (Short): For films that may be shorter or do not have plot but are still funny.  This may include things such as short skits and…

Drama: Should be  a serious presentation of situations within life in which someone or something comes into conflict and struggles with issues within their lives.

Documentaries: A non-fiction film that aims to teach other people about a place, person, experience or thing.
