This Saturday February 1st, Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) holds auditions for Media Arts and Studies thesis student films.
Tri-C student films have screened in film festivals throughout northeast Ohio and graduates have established successful careers within the local and national film and video production industry.  Tri-C is proud to present the following student films for production this spring.



"Becca Gets Her Sea Legs"

It is 1688 in Stuart England, at war's end, and out to troubled, deep seas, in what should be a romantic tryst, a general's runaway bride, noblewoman Becca is utterly seasick, in Irish pirate Aidan's ceaselessly moving ship.

"Marshmallows and Fire"

An eccentric grandfather with a flare for story telling is asked to chaperone his grandsons' sleep over, which he views as a grand opportunity to tell one or two of his over the top, not so accurate tall tales. His daughter who is very concerned with the not so accurate aspect of her father's stories makes him promise not to tell any. But with the help of his equally eccentric friends and the demands of his captive audience of children he finds away to tell the story while keeping his promise.
