Zombie Film Class

Each summer, UMF Assoc. Professor of Art Dawn Nye and Instructor of Theater / Director of the Emery Community Arts Center Jayne Decker combined academic disciplines to teach a highly unique -- and highly popular May Term course, Zombie Film. The course is an intense four-week introduction to script writing, acting, directing, video shooting and editing, scoring and film analysis. Students break into small production teams to create their films from start to finish, using the UMF campus and greater Farmington area as their movie set and production facilities. The final exam is an exciting on-campus screening of the students' labors. Some students have gone on to enter their Zombie Films in competitions, such as the annual Maine International Film Festival. The Zombie Film class is an example the interdicsiplinary approach taken by UMF's Division of the Arts.
