College Station is gearing up for an exciting series of film festivals showcasing student creativity and a new film screening this month. A&M Consolidated High School and College Station High School are set to host their own film festivals, displaying an array of short films and music videos produced by students from their Audio Video Production programs. The events promise to highlight the efforts of these young filmmakers while also giving the community a chance to engage with local talent.
The A&M Consolidated film festival will kick off at 7 p.m. this Friday, while the College Station ISD festival will take place on May 16 at 6 p.m. Both events are free to the public, encouraging community members to attend and support the students. These festivals not only serve to entertain but also to inspire students as they showcase their hard work and dedication.
Rileigh Golla, a student from College Station High School’s audio video production program, provided insight into the significance of the festivals, noting that they represent a unique opportunity for students to present their creations. Both schools are actively participating, reinforcing a collaborative spirit among the young filmmakers.
In addition to the school festivals, College Station will also feature a screening of the film “Super Dicks,” directed by Damian Lee. Scheduled for April 24 at Star Cinema Grill, the film aims to attract college students as well as local residents by playing off the unique culture found in college towns. The producer, Juliet Wang, has indicated that the film is designed to resonate with younger audiences, particularly in environments like College Station and Lubbock, where college life is prevalent.
Wang has kept details regarding the plot under wraps to maintain an element of surprise, but has drawn comparisons between the humor in “Super Dicks” and well-known comedies like Superbad and Borat. The film targets a broad audience, ensuring that it is entertaining not just for college students, but for everyone.
The screening will include a pre-event party starting at 6 p.m., which will feature a DJ, games, themed drinks, and giveaways, setting a playful tone for the night. The film will be screened twice, at 7 p.m. and at 10 p.m., allowing for viewers to choose a time that best fits their schedule.
The upcoming film festivals and the screening of “Super Dicks” reflect a vibrant creative atmosphere within College Station’s school system. By providing platforms for students to display their work, these events not only promote student engagement in the arts but also foster a deeper connection between the student body and the larger community.
Overall, College Station is poised to celebrate its young filmmakers and burgeoning talent through these forthcoming events, as the city continues to embrace its artistic spirit and provide opportunities for creative expression.
