SLCC FIlm Professor Tyler Smith and film students share the documentary films they made this semester, including:

  • Conversion [a work-in-progress documentary]. This film dives deep into an unknown world as it explores the unsettling truth of conversion therapy programs on campuses throughout the state, as well as survivors' stories of the lingering effects of the controversial practice. Student Filmmakers: Toby Simmons, Sean Leonard, and Chris Ellis.

  • Diverted: Indigenous Stewardship and Saving The Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake is a natural wonder that is disappearing before our very eyes. With efforts for indigenous stewardship to nonprofit preservation, we explore the profound effects of the Great Salt Lake and what it means if it fades away forever. Student Filmmakers: Kolby Butts, Valene Peratrovich, and McCaulee Blackburn. 

Join SLCC film students for a joint premiere on Friday, Dec. 8, 6:00 p.m. at Salt Lake Community College South City Campus, Room 1-030 (Multi-Purpose Room), 1575 S. State St., SLC.
