Film matters & getting your scholarship published
Who said film school was just about production? At Visions, we believe film scholarship is essential to success in the vast world of media related studies. Join Anya Exaterina, a MA student at UNCW studying Film Studies; Kate Wise, a MA student studying in the Cinema & Media Studies at the University of British Columbia; and Miranda Sprouse, a UNCW alumni working as an Editorial Assistant, as they discuss film scholarship and UNCW’s very own film publication, Film Matters.
Panelists:
Anya Ekaterina (Anna Williams)
MA Candidate in French Child-Centric & Women-Centric Cinema, UNCW
Anya Ekaterina is a Film Studies MA student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She paints, creates essay films, and studies French child-centric and women-centric cinema.
Miranda Sprouse
Editorial Assistant, J&J Editorial
Miranda is from Charlotte, North Carolina. She graduated from UNC Wilmington in May 2020, with a degree in Film Studies and a certificate in Professional Writing. During her time as an undergraduate student, she was a part of the Flicker Film Society (serving as Secretary/Treasurer from 2018 to 2019) and interned with Film Matters Magazine and Intellect Books. Her passion for both film and publishing have pushed her out of her comfort zone in numerous ways. She is currently an Editorial Assistant at J&J Editorial and continues to work on a variety of writing projects.
Kate Wise
MA Student in Cinema & Media Studies, University of British Columbia
Kate Wise is a second-year cinema and media studies MA student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Before graduating from UNCW in 2018, Kate was involved with the Flicker Film Society and co-chaired the Reel Teal Film Festival. Kate was also awarded the departmental Excellence in Film Studies Award. Her research is focused on the intersection between East Asian media (particularly K-pop), queer subtext, and fandom studies. She is the co-editor-in-chief of the UBC film journal, Cinephile, and is currently working on her thesis exploring connections between the visual content of BTS and subversive fan engagement. Kate has been published in Film Matters and will be presenting part of her thesis at NYU's 'Music and the Moving Image' Conference this May.
