UCF FILM is dedicated to strong narratives and engaging stories. That's why we call our annual DVD compilation FIVE STORIES. Films featured on this disc - chosen from the more than 100 projects completed each year by our students – not only showcase a maturity in the technical aspects of filmmaking but also a sophistication of storytelling we believe is among the best of the nation’s film programs. FIVE STORIES is sent out each year to a wide range of local and national industry professionals. Industry members can request a copy by sending an email that includes their professional affiliations. The disc also provides valuable exposure for our students as UCF FILM actively markets it to film festivals around the country. In the 2004-2005 festival season, films on FIVE STORIES were submitted in over 100 film festival applications and to date, every film has been selected for screening in four or more of the following events:
