Editor's note
Welcome to the 2021 Media Arts November Show, Thriller! Our show, as with other Media Arts shows in the past, encompasses work from writers, animators, and filmmakers. This year, however, our pieces follow a singular theme: thriller. Each member of the Media Arts department worked diligently, creating pieces to bring our audience to the edge of their seats. From egotistical prom queens to creepy video games, the creativity and hard work from our media artists is prevalent. Highlighted in this program, you’ll find links to some of the works presented in this show, in addition to behind the scenes moments and works from the classroom.
Curated by us, the Media Arts students, we hope you’re able to navigate and have fun with this program. After several months of hard work and preparation, we hope you’re thrilled to see what we’ve been working on!
