Shaw Rising
..
Shaw, the oldest historically Black university in the South, rises from the Civil War, segregation, and the Civil Rights movement to confront the future of education and social justice in America. This film tells the tumultuous and inspiring story of that university. But, behind the scenes, it almost didn’t get finished because Shaw, like most HBCUs, only has limited archives of their own histories. While predominantly White institutions have always had the means to preserve their past, historically Black colleges have not. Only belief in the project, three years of commitment, and finding allies to raise almost $50,000 enabled believers to bring together, again, the visual history of Shaw University—but that’s another story.

Running
..
As a 20-something goes for a run to reduce stress, his fears and anxieties take over as he thinks of the failed relationships he’s had in his life—and the one that he’s afraid of ruining next.
..
This short is the creation of three film students who, during a stressful time in their semester, decided to rent a camera and just go and make something: their own version of stress relief. “I had wanted to make a film about someone reflecting on relationships for a while,” one of them said. “We strode to take a simple idea, a guy going for a run, and turn it into a cinematic and emotional experience—one that an everyday viewer can instantly connect to.” Dealing with anxiety, overthinking, and self-deprecation, the film is a glimpse into the mind of an average person going through a difficult time.
