The RCC Film and Television Department
is hosting its first horror film festival on Saturday, October 12, at
6:00 pm in Landis Auditorium.
Student filmmakers will showcase their
gruesome and terrifying short films on the silver screen. The films will
be screened in two blocks, followed by an awards ceremony.
“Our goal is to raise $5,000 that will
be used for student scholarships and festival expenses. I encourage you
to support our program and prepare yourself for a night of spine
chilling experiences,” said Bud Tedesco, RCC Film and Television
director.
A private collection of art, costumes
and regalia from Lon Chaney, Sr. and Lon Chaney, Jr., legendary horror
film actors, will be on display. Their careers collectively spanned
over 100 years, with notable roles like the Phantom, Quasimodo, the Wolf
Man, Frankenstein and the Mummy. Special guest Ron Chaney is bringing
his traveling exhibition of classic horror memorabilia.
The RCC Film and Television program trains students for careers in the film and television industry.
“The most important thing is that we
want to turn out students who can be employed,” Tedesco said. One
program alumnus is Clayton Sandell, who now works as a reporter for ABC
News, Los Angeles. Many other students work in television production for
MTV and KCET. Other graduates have gone on to complete film studies at
USC, Chapman, UCLA, CSU Northridge, and CSU Fullerton
