About EU Films

EU Films is a student media organization located in the communication department at Evangel University. Each semester, the film workshop produces a feature film of 40 to 60 minutes in length.

“My goal is that the students in film workshop are challenged with something that has not yet been accomplished,” Pace said.

Students at Evangel participate as staff, crew and writers for films produced. After being shown on campus at the end of each semester, Evangel’s films are uploaded to www.crusadermedia.com for public viewing at a later date.

Evangel’s cable station, ECTV, also airs the films approximately three to four months after their first public showing.
