Every year, undergraduate and graduate Film Studies & Production students at the University of Denver work with faculty and each other to create original films on a topic of their choice. Students pitch the idea, write the script, find the actors, produce, direct, edit, and ultimately present their final products to the faculty and their peers.

At this year's 2017 InShort Film Showcase, a film was made about a young pow wow dancer.

THE ONE WHO MAKES HAPPY THROUGH HER DANCING
A Native dancer weighs tradition and assimilation as she works to combine past and present into her art.

1. I love pow wows.

Although not Native American, the gathering spirit and the dancing and the fry bread are soul food to me.
