Students from Faver Alternative School stepped into the world of filmmaking in January, participating in a multi-day, hands-on production of a student-created short film.
The project brought in mentors from deadCenterU, including Victor Caballero, along with support from Meridian Technology Center instructor Cara Adney and the Oklahoma Arts Council.
Students began the experience at Meridian Technology Center’s South Campus, where they learned technical skills needed for on-set production. They also conducted a live script read-through, allowing each department to collaborate and provide input on the student-written project.
The following day focused on refining roles and responsibilities as students prepared for filming. The short film is entirely student-driven and is expected to premiere at the deadCenterU Film Festival in June, with credits appearing on IMDb as well.
Filming took place at The Guthrie Haunts, where students spent multiple days capturing scenes and completing final takes.
The project provided students with real-world experience in filmmaking, from script development to on-set production, while working alongside industry professionals.
