Last Fall 2017 GEP Meeting11/29/2017 ![]() Folks, it's been a fantastic semester and one of the most productive in GEP's recent history. Thanks to your efforts, we've been able to fund and produce four short films through the pitch program, a documentary through the content creation program, an equipment rental program, and the most expansive network of student filmmakers this campus has ever seen. Before the semester comes to a close, we've got a few more things lined up for y'all. Today's Meeting Wednesday, November 29 3pm, Los Angeles Room, University Student Union 3rd Floor This is going to be an informal meeting to talk about plans for next year or share about projects we're working on. Let's hang out and detox before finals week. Golden Eagle Productions Fall Semester Screening Friday, December 8 7:30pm, USU Theater, University Student Union I hope you are all looking forward to our end of the year screening! Remember, this is open invite, so feel free to bring friends and family. Additionally, if you worked on something this semester that you would like to screen, we can accommodate that. Send an email to me directly (bhefner@cox.net) and we can arrange this. Golden Eagle Productions Fall Wrap Party There's gonna be a party to end the fall semester after the screening on that same Friday night. More details will be coming soon once they're finalized!
