Proceeds and donations from the festival benefit the Motion Picture Student Project Fund, which helps students in WCUs with the cost of creating their senior thesis films. Tickets are $20 general admission; $15 for senior citizens; $10 for WCU students, faculty and staff; and free for all School of Stage and Screen students.
Films may have mature subject matter and may not be suitable viewing for children. A feature of the festival will be an audience choice award, with viewers voting on their favorite short.
Students work on a feature production for the Controlled Chaos Film Festival.
The overall quality of films submitted to the festival this year was astounding, forcing faculty to make hard choices on selections so much so that we are exploring the idea of expanding Controlled Chaos in the coming years, said Joshua Russell, WCU film and television program coordinator. But, the big win for our program this year comes from the community of Western North Carolina that supported students with locations, props, casting and finances. Im really excited to share this slate of films with them.
