Alums Ines Gowland, Tony Koros, and Jian Luo have all had short films selected to compete in the 2019 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. Their films are two of 78 films that were chosen from around the world to screen and compete in the festival, which takes place from February 1-9, 2019 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It is the largest film festival devoted entirely to shorts.
