Special Events and Opportunities<\/h2>\n

EWU Film students gain opportunities by being located near Spokane. One of these is the opportunity to work or intern on local film and media productions.\u00a0 Other opportunities come from a proximity to The Spokane International Film Festival, such as attending, volunteering, and even submitting work for consideration.\u00a0 In 2025, EWU Film students met with filmmakers from around the region to learn how they created their work. EWU Film offers support for students to submit their work to film festivals through the David Terwische Scholarship.<\/p>\n

A highlight of our year is a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood to visit with EWU alum Jim Orr, President of Distribution at Universal Studios, and to learn from industry experts. In 2025, EWU Film screened the live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon<\/em> (2025). We met with industry figures including Jon M. Chu<\/a>, director of Wicked and the upcoming Wicked: For Good<\/a>, and actor-writer-director-producer Leigh Whannel<\/a>. (Saw, Upgrade, The Invisible Man<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Getting Started with EWU FILM<\/h2>\n

Declare your major<\/a> in Film and Digital Media at any time, but no later than the fall quarter that you begin your major in Film and Digital Media. A key part of declaring your major in Film and Digital Media is that you will be assigned a faculty advisor in FILM who can guide you through the steps of the program and advise you which courses to take to prepare for Film and Digital Media.<\/p>\n

Fall Quarter sees the beginning of the coursework sequence. Because of our cohort model, Film and Digital Media program requires a specific sequence of courses. If you don’t complete courses as they are offered, you risk a significant delay in progress toward graduation. You should consult with the program director about these requirements and declare your major status as early as possible so that we can advise you.<\/p>\n

While we recommend that you complete most EWU requirements before beginning the program in Film and Digital Media, this is less critical than starting Film courses in a Fall Quarter. You will have the chance to complete BACR courses after completing Film and Digital Media or during summer quarters, but the Film Program only starts in the Fall.<\/p>\n

We are here for any questions that you might have about the program in Film and Digital Media. Contact pporter@ewu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
