Digital Media News
NCTC Digital Media students had a great turnout for their screening event for their recent short horror film, Lacuna, in the PAC on October 26th. Students facilitated a Q&A session after the screening to answer questions about the production of the film. Students wrote the screenplay, composed the soundtrack, and did the cinematography for the production. Suzetta Chiappinelli and Asher Ballantine directed the film. If you missed the screening, you can view the video on the NCTC Digital Media YouTube Channel.
