The OU Wire goes potluck

A Gaylord student advances her career by assisting in a video production in hopes to compete in the Sundance Film Festival this September.
The production consists of around 35 students who are mainly Film and Video Studies and Broadcast and Electronic Media majors. Given only a small budget to begin production, the students will be having fundraisers throughout filming, in hopes to raise $2400.
The film, "Potluck", is about a young man from Harvard named Simon who gets sent to OU with little money after getting in trouble at home. Simon finds himself in unfortunate circumstances once at the university and with the help of his roommate attempts to dig himself out.
Stephanie Townes, Sophomore, is a co-producer of the film and has high hopes that it will succeed at Sundance.
"Besides working with the OU Wire, I have not been extremely involved with my major, so when this opportunity came to me I was excited and nervous to jump on board," says Townes.
The film will be in production the remainder of the school year and must be finished and submitted to the festival by September.
