UNL—Johnny Carson School of Theatre & Film—'Digs': Opening Night

The red carpet was rolled out for the premiere of the Johnny Carson film series second short film "Digs" at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center. Students, educators, actors and production staff were on hand after the showing for an intimate Q&A with audience members. The series is the only one of its kind in the nation, providing students the opportunity to work with film professionals. Hollywood Director Donald Petrie served as a Directorial Consultant for the project, and several students discuss their excitement in learning techniques currently employed in the film industry.
