Senior Film Projects 2024
December 14, 2023
Our senior class has been busy in producing their capstone film projects! From a cultural documentary to fantasy comedies and heartfelt dramas, see the full list of short films below and links to follow them on social media.
In recent years, the Senior Project experience at JPCatholic has been expanded from a three quarter process to five quarters, giving students extra time at the beginning for creative development, and extra time at the end for marketing and submitting to film festivals:
- Summer Quarter (Junior)
ENTM391 Creative Development - Fall Quarter (Junior)
ENTM490 Pre-Production - Winter Quarter (Senior)
ENTM491 Production - Spring Quarter (Senior)
ENTM492 Post-Production - Summer Quarter (Senior)
ENTM498 Marketing & Film Festivals
At the conclusion of the process, students premiere their senior projects at a local theater during Graduation Week. Learn more about the experience here.
