Fifteen FMS students traveled to Columbia, MO in March, along with Professors Meg Jamieson and Bob Hurst, to attend the True/False Film Festival. There they met our gracious trip sponsor Cynthia Haines who discussed her career as a foreign film and documentary critic. Thanks to St. Louis Film Fest Programmer and FMS alum Brian Woodman who spent some time visiting with everyone and sharing his story. It was a busy few days taking in some incredible films from world-class filmmakers. FMS student Jed Shaffer did an Instagram Takeover to cover this incredible event! Such an awesome experience!
