Cinematic Sound Showcase

Now in its third year, the Cinematic Sound Showcase is a collaboration between the School of Film and the Sonic Arts & Music Production (SAMP) Department, spearheaded by faculty members Shelley Davis and Caroline Miller.

This intensive program simulates real-world industry workflows: narrative short films produced in Shelley’s Narrative Production 2 class are handed off to Caroline’s SAMP students, who complete full sound editing, sound design, original music composition, mixing, and mastering within a demanding 10-week deadline. The culmination of this collaboration is a high-profile, two-hour event at the historic Hollywood Theatre featuring student film screenings and a moderated Q&A with the storytellers from both departments. After two consecutive years of sold-out screenings at PSU, the showcase is moving to a premiere venue to support emerging Pacific Northwest creative talent and connect PSU FILM and SAMP with the broader arts community. Please join us for an evening of curated talent, storytelling, and celebration.

The Cinematic Showcase is sponsored by SakeOne.
