Work on a Student Film

Media Arts

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 out 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:

  1. You must commit to attend all production meetings you are asked to attend
  2. You are expected to show up to the shoot at the times you agree to and staying until you are dismissed
  3. You must not miss any of your regular classes to work on the film
  4. You are expected to act professionally and respectfully with everyone on the project

Not following these guidelines will have an affect on your future opportunities with other Media Arts Projects. If you are wanting to get credit for working on a TMA Advanced Production, work with the producing faculty mentor for that project on how to sign up.

TMA 418 Student Projects

Every Fall and Winter semester, TMA 418 students make up to 52 short films for their class assignments. For this class, they are looking for acting volunteers who can act in these short films. If you are interested, please email your name, resume, and headshot to:jeff_parkin@byu.edu
