For the second year at the TCFF, we are joined by four outstanding short films from student filmmakers at Michigan State University. This year’s program includes “The Geography of Hope,” a short documentary by the Media Sandbox Street Team about an important nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities visit our National Parks. “Gay From Gaylord” follows a young stand-up comedian who speaks to the challenges he faced growing up in a conservative town. In “Unchecking the Box,” the filmmakers examine the impact of having a “race” box on official forms; and in the comedy “Reservations,” a young man inherits a troubled, run down, terribly managed hotel.
This year’s Media Sandbox Street Team’s project in which they took on the challenges of redoing the media needs of an important non-profit, The Disabled Traveler, which provides information for people with disabilities who want to visit our National Parks. The Team worked on the project for a full year, culminating in a Spring Break trip to Utah's Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.
