MDC Film Society Organization Searching For New Talent

March 29, 2011

The Film Society Organization at North Campus, 11380 NW 27 Ave., is looking for actors to help them in short film projects.

According to event coordinator Eduardo Capriles, the organization’s goal is to help create short film projects while helping students build their portfolios and obtaining real-world experience.

Although they mainly target drama, theater and performing art majors, the offer is open to all students. There is a $5 fee.

“We want to reach out to students who want to act, it does not matter what they are majoring in, anyone can help us,” Capriles said.

Meetings are held in Room 1377, at noon on Mondays for officers and Wednesdays for students and participants.
