Professor Scott Sublett writes, “In the feature film category of the CSU Media Arts Festival, there are only three finalists this year–and they’re all ours! So I guess we’ll place 1-2-3 AGAIN this year! The only suspense is WHICH SJSU student will win. See below for the full list. Note that one of the students is from the MFA Creative Writing Program. Congratulations to all our amazing screenwriting students, and to our other writing faculty, Barnaby and David! This will be the seventh year in a row SJSU takes first in feature screenwriting. Hooray for us!”

And Professor Sublett was right: Here are the results and congratulations to all!!!

Congratulations to all of the TRFT faculty, staff and students who attended the 2014 HUMANITIES AND ARTS STUDENT SHOWCASE. TRFT  provided AMAZING content both on the big screen (Theatre slide show, student senior films, etc.) and at this celebration of students!

Fiona and Matt were the Stage Managers for the event.

TRFT had a great table! Complete with screenwriting kudos, costume samples and film cameras.
