Spring 2021 Showcase

UW Communication Arts production students have worked hard all semester creating short films and podcasts, stretching their creativity under challenging circumstances to tell stories and demonstrate what they’ve learned. We congratulate our students on their efforts.

We’d also like to thank the Teaching Assistants for CA155, CA355 and CA467 whose dedication and hard work helped guide students this semester. We’re also incredibly indebted to the staff of the Instructional Media Center for supporting our students during this difficult semester. Please enjoy this curated collection from spring 2021 production classes.
