IMA student documentaries premiere on April 23

Interactive Media Arts (media production) students will be premiering their documentaries at an event later this month at the college's North Hill Campus in Brandon.

A partnership with MTS TV has students working through a complete production process to showcase local stories, which will be broadcast on MTS TV Stories from Home. Those who subscribe to MTS TV can access these films (and many others) for free under the 'On Demand' section.

Below are trailers for this year's films. They will be shown in full at the IMA Premiere on Thursday, April 23, starting at 7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public, so stop by and check out some of the capstone projects students have been working on throughout the year in addition to the documentaries.
