The Akron Soul Train Gallery show runs through May 29, 2021. Admission is free and the hours are Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Check out the review here.

Thomas Matheis (2017 graduate) was AC (Assistant Camera), Kara Hejnal, who is a current student in Johnson’s Advanced Set Operations class, served as Johnson’s PA (Production Assistant) and Casey Rearick (2013 graduate), served as the photographer. Rearick was in the first class Johnson taught at Tri-C.

Film StudentsExposure Film Fest: Tri-C Film major, Marissa Roesch wins 2nd place for Best Overall Film
Filmed during the pandemic, with a crew of one, Marissa Roesch completed her award-winning debut short film as her final project for FILM 2280 Short Films: Exploring Genre and Technique class.

Not only was Roesch working under quarantine conditions, her ability to attend classes was challenging as her national guard unit was deployed not once but twice during civil unrest causing her to balance her day job, her national guard duty and her commitment to her classmates’ projects as well as her own film.

Nonetheless, her film resonates as a quiet work of cinematic beauty. Roesch’s directing skills, cinematography as well as her nuanced portrayal of the human condition unfolds in layers the tensions of love, compassion, empathy, and discovery shared between two people.

My Body is My Home - Short Film

Trans lives matter. A short film by Marissa Roesch Starring Cass Damiani & Rhianna Teetzel. Special thank you to Hannah Schramm Music provided by @ErikMMusic Purple Planet Music.
