Freewater Productions is a committee of the Duke University Union (DUU) dedicated to the production of student films. All styles and genres are encouraged. We operate as a cooperative, with members teaching each other filmmaking and forming the crews of each other’s productions. We offer a series of workshops on every part of the filmmaking process, from writing to shooting to editing. Members are eligible to apply for grants given out each semester to make short films. Freewater Productions is an entirely student-run group, not affiliated with any University academic department. No previous experience is necessary to join, and everyone—student and non-student—is welcome. Freewater films are shown to the public at the end of each academic year at our annual screening in Griffith Film Theater.
