“Overflow,” directed by Nyima Ming
“Overflow explores how plastics have become a global waste issue and the cultural evolution that normalized the use of plastics,” Ming wrote in the description of the film. “It will examine the science behind what plastic polymers are, where they come from/how they are made, how they (don’t) break down, our global waste management systems involving plastics and why the majority of plastics end up in the environment.”
“Reel Utah,” directed by Morgan Ashdown and Savannah Coles
“Reel Utah [is] a documentary where Utah film students go to various locations involved with Utah moviemaking,” Ashdown and Coles wrote in the description of the film. “From Salt Lake City to Monument Valley, these students visit film commissions, equipment rentals, and historical movie locations.”
