Our students also get the benefit of our northern California location, which puts us close to the San Francisco Bay Area's film, arts and digital community. We have visited organizations such as SFFILM FilmHouse, the home of the San Francisco Film Festival.
Our industry contacts enable us to bring in an impressive array of producers and directors, including Mark Andrews, the director of Pixar's Oscar-winning film "Brave."
Students studying film at Pacific can attend film festivals as part of their undergraduate program. These first-hand experiences provide insight into the business and promotional side of the film industry. In the past, Pacific has paid for students to go to Mammoth Film Festival and Sundance Film Festival.
The media arts and production program offers exceptional hands-on learning experiences, including the annual Media Mash event. This unique opportunity brings accomplished alumni—filmmaker Chris Schueler and producer Dean Butler—back to campus to guide students through intensive, real-world production projects. Media Mash not only sharpens students' creative and technical skills but also highlights the power of Pacific’s professional network, allowing students to build meaningful connections while making a tangible impact on the community.
Professor Salyers combines his research and passion for history with advanced technology to create immersive experiences, history-based games, virtual and augmented reality projects and digital stories.
"It's important to give students experience working on an interdisciplinary, collaborative project in a professional setting. It's a real-world skill they should have."
