On Feb. 29, the WTF film club showed William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet staring Oscar winning Leonardo DiCaprio. When asked if the film was shown in honor of DiCaprio winning best male lead at the Oscars the night before, Riley Gardner replied with, “it was just good timing.” Gardner and Julie Wittrock both run the club together and both watched DiCaprio win at the Oscars. Wittrock and Gardner were not surprised when DiCaprio won. Gardner was actually working at The Screen during the Oscars and recalled how the theater was ecstatic when DiCaprio won. While Wittrock’s favorite DiCaprio movie is Rome + Juliet, Gardner’s is the classic film, Titanic. “Seeing those people who made Titanic possible still active and still winning is heartwarming,” Gardner says fondly.

“I hate that I have to teach this class,” Lisa Lucas, instructor at the Film School, stated at the very start of the first session. “But someone has to do it.” Women in Cinema is the first ever SFUAD course to focus on women directors and writers of film history.

There are few things more intimidating than a senior getting ready to graduate from college. Being thrown into the world while also being forced to truly grow up is a hard transition. The Countdown, directed by Lia Gotz, targets this subject completely. “These women have worked really hard for the last four years towards adulthood and once it hit’s their youth is lost,” says Gotz. This student-produced film portrays two women getting ready to graduate when they happen upon a bucket list they made in previous years. With graduation the next day, they decide they have to honor their teen souls by completing their bucket list with the time they have left. “Youth is something that’s passing by really quickly and these women start to realize they have to grow up, have to get a jobs, have to start making money to support themselves,” Gotz explains. These powerhouse women working alongside Gotz came together to create a comedic film that students all over campus will be able to relate to in one way or another. They’ve spent the past five months writing scripts and raising their goal of $3,000 towards making this dream a reality. Since they’re working on a tight budget, they intend on make good use of school grounds and shoot the majority of the film on campus. “We really just want to show people what we can do,” says Gotz. “We’re not daisies, we can lift heavy equipment but we can also make people laugh, and that’s what we plan on doing.” They plan on being in post-production through December so they hope for an early 2016 release date. Working alongside Gotz are Producers, Summer Matthews and Eli Schaefer, first assistant director Jordyn Gregory and co-writer Kate...
