The American Studies program at Georgetown University issued multiple goals for a video production company to achieve in honoring their 50th anniversary in a short film: reflect on the past, present and future, include the voices of key figures, and emotionally appeal to alumni and donors. We decided to start by identifying three students we would film over the course of their senior year as they developed thesis projects. Those stories created a strong story arc and filming opportunities (classrooms, studying, class picnic, and thesis presentations), a strong base on which we added voices of key program leadership in interview, historical insight through archival photos and a vision for the future.
