JPCatholic Senior Film Projects 2019
March 28, 2019
JPCatholic’s graduating seniors and their teams are busy at work in pre-production for their thesis short films, which will premiere in early September at Regal Cinemas Escondido.
The Senior Projects process spans three quarters (about nine months), allowing students to invest more time and effort into creating a polished capstone project for their portfolios. Senior Projects involve a lot more than just seniors, as both underclassmen and MBA students get involved with various key roles in bringing the films to life; and students are often involved in more than just one project.
