Calvin Student Film Wins National Competition

October 20, 2005 == MEDIA ADVISORY

Into The Fray, a student-directed film from Calvin College, has won a national
film competition.

Calvin's entry into the Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation
(PTEV) National Student Film Competition beat out nine other entries to capture
the top prize at the PTEV National Student Conference, held in Indianapolis in
mid-October.

Calvin will show Into the Fray on Tuesday, October 25 at 4:30 pm in the Bywerk
Video Theater on Calvin's campus (located in the DeVos Communication Center).

Carved from over 50 hours of raw footage, Into the Fray follows four Calvin
seniors as they navigate their final year of college and face the many issues
that arise during that critical transition.

"I think it showed a good cross section in terms of identities and
relationships," says senior Scott Admiraal, the mass media and computer science
major who edited the film.

Interwoven with the four student stories are the reflections of several
professors and others from the Calvin community.

The film's many voices all cohere around the themes of personal identity,
relationships both friendly and romantic, and vocation - including the nuts and
bolts of the job hunt.

The students were mentored by communication arts and sciences (CAS) professor
Daniel Garcia, music professor David Fuentes and CAS chief engineer Jake
Bosmeijer.
