How an FMS director and an FMS actress explore the horror genre with short films
Equipped with imagination and a desire to create, a supportive group of fellow film students alongside director Olivia Herman and actor Maya Perez have worked together to produce various films during their time as University of Kansas students.
Herman, a recent film graduate, and Perez, a senior film major and theater minor, first met while taking Acting for the Camera, a 500-level theater class that accepts both theater and film and media studies students. Through the course, actors and film students get to work together to better understand each other’s specialty.
For Perez, the class helped her realize her love for film and led to her debut as a film actor after an unhappy start as a business student.
