Owens Presents Student-Directed Film
Edge of your seat suspense will engulf the Center for Fine and Performing Arts’ Mainstage Theatre as Owens Community College serves as the debut screening venue of the student-directed film “The Closing Broadcast” on Friday, Dec. 16.
The film will be shown at 8 p.m. in the College’s Mainstage Theatre on the Toledo-area Campus. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township.
Directed, written and co-produced by Owens student Matthew Cooper of Defiance, the 45-minute film “The Closing Broadcast” shares the story of Jeri Kline and her adventurous evening as an overnight television news producer. Reports start to come into the newsroom that Kline’s city and country are under attack by unknown forces. While trying to gather the facts to the unconfirmed reports, Kline has to overcome several obstacles to the truth, all while struggling to keep her last truly personal relationship with her boyfriend from eroding throughout the evening.
“Movie goers are in for an evening of intense drama,” said Cooper, a theatre major at Owens. “The film focuses a lot on priorities and what is important in a person’s life. If this day were your last, would you be happy with how you used it?”
The Fairview High School graduate, who has aspirations of a career in the film industry added, “I couldn’t be more appreciative of everyone who was involved in making this film. All scenes were filmed in Northwest Ohio and feature local actors and actresses.”
Tickets for the film “The Closing Broadcast” are $10 and all seats are general admission. To purchase tickets, visit the College’s Box Office. For more information about this event, contact the Center for Fine and Performing Arts at (567) 661-2787 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 2787.
