The phenomenal reaction on YouTube to Aaron Beckum’s short film Who Wants To Be An Amerikan? has inspired our Digital Design students.

One project undertaken in the Digital Design program is for teams to come up with a full press kit for a film. Press kits are sent out to international festivals and industry rainmakers in hopes of gaining support for the film as well as financing for future projects by the team, especially the director.

Working with Beckum as their client, Digital Design students Dave Murawsky, Robyn Haddow, Ryan Uhrich, Marcos Ceravolo, and Elsie Lee came up with this kit, currently being sent to film festivals (yes, we’ll update you on future screenings!). The kit, like the movie, is a complete original. The heavy-duty wood shipping crate is a particularly nice touch, and kudos for adding a little American flag cloisonne pin, too!

And we at Blog HQ are giving away one press kit (DVD included) to a lucky reader. Swag city!
