Daily Writer Erin Evans recently started a series wherein she highlights student filmmakers: their work, their unique visions of film and the obstacles they face. In her April 4, 2022, feature, she speaks with FTVM graduating senior Jacob Shin to discuss his creative process and plans for a new short film, "Wonderful" and a future coming-of-age film based on his own experiences as a child of Korean immigrant parents in the Midwest.

In her April 14, 2022, article, Evans talks with filmmaking trio, FTVM graduating senior Cassidy Caulkins, GMS minor Victoria Huang, and LSA senior Monica Iyer. "From disparate backgrounds, the three have found each other from chance friendships founded on this shared need for a creative outlet and love of film, despite the different forms it takes for each. All seniors with vastly different paths ahead of them, their time as a filmmaking trio is short — a momentary merging of inspiration and creativity," reports Evans. The trio is crafting a sitcom pilot, "More Than a Degree" and a film short, "Disparate."

FTVM graduating senior Sophia Raines was one of nine Black artists across different artistic disciplines interviewed by Daily writers Akash Dewan and Karis Clark in their April 15, 2022, article, "Black, Booked, and Blessed": "These artists of the Afrikan diaspora [...] provided insight on their own artistic journeys as well as their experiences on campus in creative spaces. Their words and work remind us that Blackness is not a monolith but a multi-faceted mode of being to be embraced in an abundance of means."
