“N.C. Visions” Program Including Works by UNCG Filmmakers

GREENSBORO — Seven current or former students of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro have films featured on “North Carolina Visions” program, which is running on Saturday nights through Oct. 19 on UNC Television stations.

Now in its eighth season, “Visions” is UNC-TV’s showcase for film and video artists in the state. This year, a panel of filmmakers, film and video teachers, and UNC-TV personnel selected 17 of the "best and brightest" current works of North Carolina's moving image artists from among 56 works submitted. “Visions” airs on UNC-TV at 11 p.m. on Saturday nights.

The Sept. 21 episode of “Visions” is an all-UNCG filmmakers' evening. The initial video screened is “Atlantic City Scrabble Championship” by Tom Lipscomb, a third-year MFA in the film and video production program in the Department of Broadcasting and Cinema. The second work is “Sam McMillan: The Dot Man” by Mary M. Dalton. Now an associate professor at Wake Forest University, Dalton has a master’s in media studies and a doctorate in education from UNCG. The final work is “The Elements” by Christoph Baaden and Jane Fields. Baaden is a graduate of the MFA program in film and video production. “The Elements” won the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences national collegiate Emmy for best musical.

On Oct. 5, “Visions” will feature a work, “Armor of God,” by UNCG MFA alumnus, Brett Ingram, who was co-creator of the film. The Oct. 12 program includes “Remembering1898 . . . Moving Forward Together,” a documentary by graduate Francine DeCoursey, who is copresident of Onlocation Productions of Wilmington. “Remembering 1898” is a socially significant documentary on racial conflict and healing in Wilmington. “Visions” final episode on Oct. 19 will include “This Big” by Joel Meyer, Patrick Parker, and Cory Schnozzle. All were seniors in the UNCG media studies when the work was completed last spring as a capstone project under the direction of Dr. Michael Frierson in intermediate cinevideography.

The series opened on Sept. 14 with “Creation: Episode 1: Lift Up the Earth,” by Changhee Chun, a third-year student in UNCG’s MFA degree program in film and video production.
