Elaina Cole to represent CofC at the SCMS-U Conference

Congratulations to Film Studies minor  Elaina Cole (CofC ’18), whose paper proposal, “Teenage Wasteland: the 1980s Teen Comedy as a Revitalized Screwball Comedy,” was accepted to the upcoming Society for Cinema and Media Studies Undergraduate Conference. “This is an extraordinary accomplishment,” notes John Bruns, director of the Film Studies minor, “as the SCMS-U is extremely competitive with only 30 proposals accepted.”

The proposal selections were made by a panel comprised of film studies faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where the conference will be held, April 14-17. Cheers to all those who submitted a proposal, because a conference as competitive as this means the panel members were forced to decline some pretty high-caliber papers.
