When our organizers aren’t busy preparing to exhibit films at the Lindsey Fest, some of them are making their own films which screen and compete at other festivals. Festival Co-chair Jason Flynn has directed a music video shot by UNA grad Tyler Martin featuring an original song, “American Dream,” written and performed by Charlton James, who manages Lindsey Fest screenings. Their film is currently competing for the Audience Award in the Freestyle Life Film Exhibition.
Jason Flynn is the head of the Film and Digital Media program at UNA, and Charlton James is a theatre professor. By making films that compete in festivals, they show UNA students that creating art (film, music, and/or theatre) is an ongoing pursuit requiring much dedication to the art. Working with a UNA alum on this film testifies to the type of support regularly given to their students by these professors.
The Lindsey Film Festival is lucky to work with these dedicated professions. Do yourselves a favor and take a look at “American Dream.” And if you want to vote in the completion, that would be pretty great also.
