GreenScreen 2025 Student Film Premiere
- Friday, June 13, 2025 / 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM (PDT)

The 2025 GreenScreen premiere will showcase four student-produced films focused on eco-consciousness.
GreenScreen is a hands-on, project-based environmental media production program where students work in teams to leverage their collective production skills and environmental knowledge. The goal of the program is not only to increase awareness about the environment, but to expand the ways that these issues are represented and communicated.

The event will be followed by a reception in the Michael Douglas Lobby.
This event is free but a reservation is recommended in order to guarantee a seat.
Sponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center and the Department of Film & Media Studies.
The Bear Beneath
Crew: Olivia Hille, Jorge Rodal Llano, Tatum Davis
Once hunted to extinction, the California Grizzly survives only as a symbol, frozen on the state flag, waving over the land it once roamed. A century later, will California bring back its lost icon or leave it in myth?
Offshore

A young man loses his father in an oil rig accident, and finds a way to deal with his new reality through swimming.
Crossing the Divide
Crew: Talia Frank, Ryan Grant, Karli Korszeniewski, Hailey DeWald
Crossing the Divide explores the longstanding issue of habitat fragmentation caused by roads and the detrimental consequences this has on wildlife populations. The film investigates the current wildlife crossings that have been and are being built, and highlights their promising potential to restore movement patterns and support ecosystem resilience.
The Bees and the Birds
Crew: Olly Johnson, Everett Mathiason, Catherine Scanlon, Seiya Kanda
California’s native bees are facing an uncertain future. The Bees and the Birds explores this unfolding environmental crisis through the lens of a vibrant community garden that has become a safe haven for native bees, birds, and other wildlife.
