At EWU Film, your education extends beyond the classroom.
Thanks to our location near Spokane’s growing film scene—and our strong industry connections—you’ll have access to exciting events, hands-on learning opportunities, and unique experiences throughout the year.
One of the biggest highlights of the year is our trip to Universal Studios Hollywood, a highly selective, grant-supported learning experience. Students visit EWU alum Jim Orr, President of Distribution at Universal Studios, and spend the day learning from top industry professionals.
Recent experiences include:
In 2024, students also enjoyed a special screening of The Fall Guy and met director-producer duo David Leitch and Kelly McCormick.
Note that students must apply to participate in this annual trip.
EWU’s proximity to Spokane’s thriving media scene means you can gain professional experience, explore various roles, and grow your industry connections.
At the end of each academic year, we celebrate student creativity with the Best of EWU Film, a public screening featuring outstanding films from across the program. This showcase highlights the most exceptional work by students and provides an opportunity for you to see your film on the big screen.
