Speech, Theatre, and Digital Film Department - Digital Film Program Overview
Students in the Pierce College Theatre program collaborate with other classes across the Theatre curriculum. Students in the acting classes act in the digital videos produced by the digital film making classes. Digital film production/technical theatre students serve as the production crews for these same films. Students in English write film scripts to be used for the digital films. Film subject matter includes all campus and community life, from dental hygiene to oceanography, from Pierce College basketball to early childhood education. Films that focus on community needs and community awareness are particularly encouraged. Digital film production at Pierce College Theatre is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with fellow theatre/film students, other departments and programs, the campus community, and the greater Pierce County area.
