Cinema Sarah Lawrence's "Jack London's Martin Eden" will debut at the @nantucketfilmfestival this week. The film was made by students as part of Cinema Sarah Lawrence, a semester-long experiential learning program that immerses students in the production of a feature film (including making this trailer).

“Students played substantial roles in every aspect of production,” said director Jay Craven. “From casting and costume design to sound recording, location scouting, and script supervising. They also built sets – from scratch – including one for an early 20th century laundry and another for a New England tenement duplex. Students also appear on screen, as featured extras and in several supporting roles. Their fingerprints are everywhere in the film.”

@slctheatreofficial is announcing selected semester projects for Fall ‘21 this week! Flutter over to their page for more about the fall season 🦋

“In May, I graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts,” writes recent grad Madda Rona ‘21. “I concentrated in economics and experienced life as a student athlete riding equestrian and dancing ballet. I took incredible classes from Italian literature, to painting, to calculus. Some of my favorites were “Health in a Multicultural Context” with my don Linwood Lewis; “The Price of Citizenship: A History of Poverty and Public Policy in the US” with the legendary Komozi Woodard; and “Anatomy and Physiology” with Dr. Beth Ann Ditkoff.

I conducted 18 conference projects over the course of my four years in the areas of: public health, sociology, economics, biology, math, and creative writing. Some include, “A Food Desert? The Case of Downtown Yonkers”; “Healing Inflammation Through Diet”; “Health and Homelessness in the United States”; “A Comparative Analysis of Waste Disposal in the US and Europe”; “Tutt’appo? The Underground Economy in the Mezzogiorno”; and “The Impact of Music Stimuli on Short Term Memory Recall”.

Over the last four years I have completed five internships including working in the finance department of Proskauer Rose LLP and working for the important non-profit organization, Groundwork Hudson Valley.

I spent my Junior year studying abroad in Milan, Italy at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. There, I was part of the international program where I took a variety of courses like, “Economics of European Integration”; “Citizenship and Religion in a Multicultural Society”; and “Roman Law and Common Law”.

Even though the last year and a half were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have learned such invaluable lessons like — how to easily adapt and pivot according to your circumstances, and how to make difficult decisions in a constantly changing environment. It has been an enormous privilege to receive a Sarah Lawrence education — and I am forever grateful to my parents (Heather & Patrick), teachers, and mentors along the way.

I look forward to the continued learning and education that lies in front of me.” #SLC2021 #sarahlawerencecollege
