The students in SMAD aspire to be storytellers, and those in the digital video and cinema concentration intend to accomplish that visually. On Dec. 16 from 7-9 p.m. the School of Media Arts and Design held its annual âSMADFestâ event. This year it was held online in the form of a YouTube livestream. Professor Rustin Greene runs SMADFest every year, and said itâs a good opportunity for students to show off their work. âSMADFest is an opportunity for student producers to present their work to a public audience and to learn how other people experience and respond to their films,â Greene said. âSMADFest celebrates short, narrative film and the student filmmakers who conceive, write, and produce them.â
