ABOUT us
Studio 22 continually strives to promote education, ambition, and quality in Northwestern filmmakers.
We fund seven to eight student films a year, all showcased at the end of each school year. We aim to produce ambitious, high-quality student films and serve as an active agent in the development of Studio 22 projects.
Studio 22 exists to serve and challenge the film community in all aspects and to provide opportunities to experiment in filmmaking, as well as to develop networks with alumni and film professionals. We also provide educational opportunities via workshops and speakers, and we aim to introduce new filmmakers to the industry.
