Done with finals but stuck in Waco? Here are some things to do while you’re still in town.

Maverick Moore, senior lecturer in film and digital media and Black Glasses film programmer, said this year’s submissions may have created the best lineup of films the festival has seen.

In film and digital media classes like production methods II (PMII) and short film production, students are exposed to the process of making short films, preparing them for their careers at Baylor and beyond.

Baylor alumnus Maverick Moore directed the film as a graduate student alongside fellow graduate and undergraduate students from the Baylor theater and film departments. He spent almost a full year developing the project, which will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in France this May.

The Waco Hippodrome hosted Baylor Film & Digital Media’s 16th annual Black Glasses Film Festival Monday.

In an upcoming film, Baylor students are picking up the story of some soldiers where war movies like “Jarhead” and “The Hurt Locker” end.

Inspiring cinematography, captivating characters and compelling scripts meld for an evening of entertainment at the 12th annual Black Glasses film festival at 7 p.m. Friday in Kayser Auditorium.
