A student with a passion for films and a talent for writing and directing is stirring up a Hollywood buzz on campus with a new film club. David Maresca '02, who dreams of following in the footsteps of young filmmaker Kevin Smith ("Mallrats," "Clerks," "Chasing Amy" and "Dogma"), launched the club this spring to encourage fellow students in the art of filmmaking. He designed his own major in media studies that draws on coursework in creative writing, playwriting, directing, set design and computer-aided design. For his senior thesis, Maresca is producing a feature-length film with students as actors and crew.

This spring, the film club has three projects underway-a romantic comedy, a serious drama and coverage of the campus music scene. Pictured here is a rehearsal shooting of a scene from Maresca's film, "The Lost Art of Conversation."
