The Society

We’ve existed for about twenty years in something vaguely similar to our current form. I don’t really know the full story. Lenny Abrahamsom was somehow involved. So was Ed Guiney. I guess it was called the Trinity Video Society back then.

According to the Constitution, we exist to encourage and facilitate the production of student films, screen student films, and promote the art of filmmaking in all aspects.

Anyhow, in its present iteration, the society is run by a committee of dedicated student filmmakers who could not think of a better way to kill time.
