Do you love film, television, video games, the internet, or social media? Are you excited to share your ideas with other students and the world?
Then join us for the Fall 2025 Film and Media Studies Showcase! The event will be filled with performances, presentations, and networking for students invested in analyzing and making media.
When? Friday, October 31, 2025, 10 am – 12 pm (lunch to follow)
What? This will be an in-person and virtual showcase, where students will have the opportunity to present their work in its many forms and meet with like-minded students and faculty.
Who? Any ASU student studying film, TV, or other media, regardless of major, may submit.
What are we looking for? We’re excited to see what you come up with and don’t want to restrict your creativity. Possible presentations could include:
- A presentation of a paper you’ve written on any topic related to film, TV or other media
- A demonstration of a game or website you designed
- A screening of a short film you made or an excerpt from a longer piece of media
- A staged reading of a scene from your screenplay (or the entire screenplay, if it’s a short)
- Standup comedy
- Poster presentations of honors thesis projects or other research projects
- A podcast
- Some other wonderful thing we haven’t included here that you think will fit

- A brief (1-paragraph) description of your proposed presentation, in which you should describe the type of presentation (paper, screening, script, other type of presentation, live performance, website or game, etc.); if applicable, note which faculty member recommended you submit your work.
- Your email address and a brief biographical statement (who you are, your major, what you are interested in doing post-graduation, and anything else you find notable).
