Work on a Student Film
Want to help out on a BYU student film? Our students are always looking for student volunteers to help. On this page, you can send the producer of one of our upcoming student films your interest in volunteering on their project. In some cases, you may even be able to get class credit while you work on set (current BYU students only). If you offer to help on a project, we request that you follow these guidelines:
- You must commit to attending all production meetings you are asked to attend
- You are expected to show up to the shoot at the times you agree to and stay until you are dismissed
- You must not miss any of your regular classes to work on the film
- You are expected to act professionally and respectfully with everyone on the project
Not following these guidelines will have an effect on your future opportunities with other Media Arts Projects. If you want to get credit for working on a TMA Advanced Production, work with the producing faculty mentor for that project on how to sign up.
Crew Opportunities for Student Advanced Film Productions (AFPs)
Media Arts students produce two AFP Studios in the fall semester, up to six AFP Indies in the winter, and 1-2 AFP Docs in both fall and winter semesters. Please view the current AFPs, both fiction and non-fiction, that are currently being produced. If you are interested in participating as part of the crew, please reach out to the Producer or Director via their email linked below.
