For the third year at the TCFF, we are joined by
outstanding short films made by student filmmakers
at Michigan State University. In Trevor Ferla’s
“Blacktop,” an overworked, mentally exhausted
paramedic happens upon a mysterious woman
whose guidance spirals his troubled mind toward
a sense of peace. “From Flint” by Izak Gracy
and Jenna Ange tells the story of the Flint
Water Crisis from the perspectives of activists
on the ground who have experienced it firsthand.
Extreme athletes face big challenges and
relentless environments in Jennifer Berggren’s
“Run, Jump, Paddle.” And “#LendMIHand,” also
by Izak Gracy, follows MSU students as they
mentor homeless youth in Lansing and build a
media campaign that encourages others to pay
it forward.
