The San Jose State University Department of Television-Radio-Film-Theatre is proud to announce that, once again, our talented students have distinguished themselves in the nation’s largest and most important student screenwriting competition: the Broadcast Education Association’s Festival of Media Arts. 

RTVF major Dylan Sergant took Second Place in Feature Screenwriting with his science fiction script “Romancing Destruction,” about a murderous stalker aboard a spaceship, willing to destroy Planet Earth to dominate the woman he desires.

In the Short Subject Screenwriting category, two of our students received Awards of Excellence: RTVF major Chris Wilson for “The Interrogation,” and RTVF major Nick Harstrick for “Frat Pup.” All awards will be presented in Las Vegas at the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). The Broadcast Education Association (BEA) is the nation’s largest association of RTVF academic programs.

The Department has a long history of student success in the BEA Festival, last year having taken first place in Feature Screenwriting, something we look forward to doing again next year.
