UCF FILM students create around 200 shorts each school year and retain ownership of the films they create. Once beyond foundational DV-based classes, the most popular shooting formats are 24P digital video, 16mm and 35mm. Film camera packages are usually rented from our good friends at Panavision Orlando.

Shoots last between one and five days. Each student raises their own budgets, which range from $5 to $20,000. Budgets cover the costs of required goods and services beyond what is provided by UCF. All the shorts featured below are UCF student or faculty productions currently playing film festivals somewhere around the world.
