Film Festivals Select Eagle Film

The Communication department's Professor David Jurney and his Eagle Film students have won more awards!

Eagle Film students directed and produced 'Assisted Living' from screen play to auditions, site selection to lighting, and editing to sound effects to create a wonderful short film that has film festival audiences chuckling. Meet Brian. He is the main character who hits a bit of a rough patch. He loses his job then his roommate kicked him out. None too keen on the idea of him moving back home, Brian's mom signed him up for a free housing program. The catch; Brian's new roommate and his new apartment are in an assisted living community.

'Assisted Living' is the hysterical, award winning production of Eagle Film students led by Professor David Jurney.

"This continues a long run of nominations and awards that Professor Jurney's films have earned over the past several years. I am proud of Professor David Jurney's hard work and excellence in his craft," said Communication Department Chair Dr. Brian Simmons.
