Welcome back to Rarow on the Air, where we bring
you the latest stories from Southeast Missouri State University. I'm
Alex Martin, and today we have an exciting episode featuring
a deep dive into student filmmaking at the fault Line
Film Festival and an insightful discussion on healthy dining choices
on campus. Let's get started. Southeast Missouri State University hosted
the fifteenth annual fault Line Film Festival, showcasing the creative
(00:24):
work of emerging filmmakers. Held with the Rose Theater on
Simo's campus. The event awarded top films and categories like Drama, comedy,
and documentary, with a grand prize of one thousand dollars
for the winner of the festival. We spoke with CIMO
TV film student Marshall Groan Howard, the director of a
horror film that left quite an impression on audiences.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was one of the most rewarding experiences in my
entire life, without a doubt. I had so much fun
either wonderful cast and crew, and getting to watch it
on the big screen was a fantastic experience.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Marshall shared more about what it was like to create
this project from start to finish, from writing the script
to those long nights on.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Set, getting to make the film, from start to finish
writing it, getting to direct it, spending very long nights
on set. You know, unfortunately standing some faces pink.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
With fake blood.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
But it's one of the greatest things on the planet.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, many aspects of filmmaking come together to create a
memorable experience. Marshall point to the film's score is one
of his favorite elements.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
My favorite part about the film isn't even something I did.
It's the score. The score we got the guy we
had to do. It was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Michael Bazushko, a librarian at SIMO and longtime movie fan.
As a committee member for the festival, he discusses his
experience working at the festival and what he took away
from this year.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I started working at SIMO a couple of years ago.
As soon as I kind of out we had a
film festival. I immediately volunteered because I love movies, and
I've really enjoyed it. I think this year it's been
a great showing for our locals night. I think we
had a lot of movies, We had a lot of
really strong movies, and and I really particularly enjoyed seeing
(02:03):
some of the animated movies this year.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Cimo BFA Acting major Kyle Shackman speaks on his experience
acting in the film My Favorite Obsession.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Let's see, this is actually my first festival that I attended.
I'm a transfer students, so I haven't had time to
fight get into all the cool just things that have
been happening around Southeast And it's a very surreal experience.
It's very kind of weird seeing me among them on
the screen. That's like, oh God, that's me, so kind
of terrifying, but fun to see, like, oh that kind
(02:33):
of worked well, that didn't, and that's very fun to see.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Lastly, CEMO TV film student Scott Belovich gives us insight
on what it was like to come back and work
on films for his second year in a row.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
This was our second year at Faultline, creating films for submission,
and yeah, it's it was nice coming back for a
second year and kind of putting our knowledge that we
learned the first time around to the test, and also
picking up new skills working with more professional people and
coming together as tea.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
If you miss the fault Line film festival this year.
Make sure to catch it next time for some incredible
students storytelling switching gears. Let's talk about something that impacts
every student on campus. Food. We sat down with doctor
Leah and Lambert, a SEMO instructor for Nutrition and Allied Health, Kinesiology,
and Sports Sciences, to discuss the importance of healthy eating
and how students can make better choices. However, making those
(03:24):
choices isn't always easy, especially when meal plans and dining
options are considered.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know, I think when you're here at college, it's
easy just to grab fries and burger without because you
just don't want to think about it too much.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
For students living on campus, knowing what options are available
is key. Towers landing in the University Center offer a
variety of meals, but making the right selections is up
to each student. There are plenty of salads, fruits, and
vegetables available, but meal plan choices matter. Students may need
to adjust their swipes versus flex dollars to have more flexibility.
Nutrition information is also accessible, though Lambert questions whether most
(04:00):
students actually care to read them.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
There's not a lot of research that supports that if
people have nutrition information because they've done a few like
nutrition facts labels, and then even like trying to put
certain nutrition things on the front of packaging, like does
it change how people actually eat or what they choose?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
One thing is clear, making small changes can have a
big impact.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Eating healthy whole foods is going to make them feel better,
make them have more energy, and maybe be a little
less prone to every fold.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Or At the end of the day, the responsibility falls
on students to make informed choices, but with better awareness
and available resources, a healthier college experience is possible. That's
all for today's episode of Aarrow on the Air. Whether
you're a filmmaker bringing stories to life or a student
making healthier dining choices, we hope you found something valuable
in today's show. For more on these stories and other
