The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh’s Radio TV Film (RTF) students continue to make regional waves in the film industry with multiple selections at the prestigious Door County Film Festival.
Four exceptional projects created by RTF students have been officially selected for screening, showcasing the creative talent and dedication nurtured within the program.
“We’re incredibly proud of our students and their continued success,” said Beth Hubbard, chair of the Radio TV Film Department. “These selections are a testament to their hard work, creativity, and the strong foundation they built during their time at UWO. It’s inspiring to see them share their stories with the world.”
