Wayne State Faculty Selects Honors
An annual showcase of film and media arts projects chosen by faculty as examples of excellence in production and writing. Student works are selected as worthy of honors designation, including short documentaries, narratives, webisodes, and new media works. The Wayne State University Green List designates student excellence in screenwriting.
The projects are an embodiment of the diverse viewpoints and creative artistic practices of the Wayne State student body. Of particular note are projects from winter 2020 semester produced by students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine, which were created at home with determined creativity and craft despite lack of access to university-supplied equipment and resources.
The Media Arts and Studies faculty invites the university community and larger public to join them in celebrating the work of students whose voices bring a reflection of the world that must be seen, heard, shared and honored.
