Associated Students Organization President Shane Mooney is spearheading the development of a film that will be created wholly by the student body, from script writing to final edits.
Mooney is partnering up with Robert Hovanisian to form the leaders of the project, but any Pierce student or faculty member can be involved.
“I’m trying to get a bunch of creative people together to brainstorm on it,” Mooney said.
The movie is set to be played in the fall, and the idea is to have the film centered on accreditation standards and how they show up in student life.
They can either tap the surface of each standard or take one and cover it fully within the storyline.
Shane’s idea for the film is to follow a “student” from the first day of college until he/she graduates or transfers. The story will touch on some standards.
The group will meet in the ASO Conference Room until they need a bigger space.
“We might be up to 100 students,” Mooney said.
He will be talking to Cinema Club, the students involved in the Theatre Department and generally anyone who is interested in making a movie.
As of now, Mooney seemed inspired to make a comedy/faux-documentary of the film.
“I think it should be funny because it pulls people in when it‘s funny,” Mooney said.
Faculty Accreditation Coordinator Mia Wood is helping with the film in any way she can.
“The students run the show and we [the faculty] are just here to serve you,” Wood said.
She agreed with Mooney that the film could use some humor.
“We already have so much serious stuff going on right now,” Wood said. “Sometimes a laugh is needed.”
Mooney is inviting anyone interested in being part of the film to show up for a meeting March 9 at 1 p.m. in the ASO Conference Room.
