I fully believe that 2018–2019 will be a big year for Belhaven’s film production department. In this
third year of our program, there is a natural increase in the quality and quantity of film projects. Students are sharpening their skills and talents, and their work reflects this. I am excited about the projects in development, yet I know that God will open up even more doors and ideas as the year develops. I am also excited about forming new connections with local industry through more collaboration and internships. Lastly, we are so happy to be moving into new offices on Riverside Drive that will accommodate our growing department, so please stop by and visit us. Whether it’s online or in a festival setting, please watch our young filmmakers use their gifts and talents!
