AAP Students interested in joining The Arc film club? Read below!

The Arc is meant to be a film club that transcends the original notions of what a film club should be. We will primarily focus on creating films and scripted cinematography, but can experiment in other forms of video production as well (e.g. music videos, commercials, class videos). You do not have to have any prior experience to apply. Our President, Vice President and team supervisors will be more than willing to teach and explain! With this club, our goal is to allow the members to experience and experiment with different mediums, in different roles that are incorporated in video production. Ideally, we will have guest speakers, trips, and more opportunities to learn and connect with each other. We accept all applicants! 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: 

  • Treasurer
  • Producers
  • Directors
  • Hair Stylists
  • Makeup Artists 
  • Costume Designers
  • Artists 
  • Screenwriters
  • Video Editors 
  • Photographers/Cinematographers
