SFS TV vodcasts

The Student Filmmakers Showcase (SFS TV) is a new series that will be devoted to showcasing student short films from around the globe. Officially set to begin “vodcasting” January 30th, the vodcasts will be made exclusively available for Apple's iTunes and video iPods. Along with the show’s official launch, its website will also be available in Spanish and French to accommodate filmmakers around the globe.

On top of being a student film showcase, SFS TV is also an internship where university students collaborate with the show’s producers to be part of the creative process. Each student has the opportunity to write, direct, edit, shoot, and more in order to gain critical experience for the future.

While production is based in Austin, Texas, the show incorporates mentors who live and work in Los Angeles, New York, and France. SFS TV is an educational and non-profit program designed to accommodate student works that feature copyrighted music and media. SFS TV joins the legions of podcasters and vodcasters all around the world, as well as other educational entities now signing up with iTunes to enhance students' educational experience and opportunities.

“I believe in the medium and the format more so than other portable devices on the market today. What Apple has done, in my opinion, is to reinvent the television. They created the product, and now it is up to producers to create the content,” says Executive Producer and creator Juan Garcia.
