Project Bluelight is a professional motion picture production company within the DePaul Digital Cinema program where students can get hands-on experience in motion picture production.
Students gain production experience through a choice of two experiential learning situations:
- Working under a group of professionals in a full-length feature film.
- For advanced students, working in an all-student independent short.mer, the program holds contests to select the best student screenplay and director for the shoot. Students who apply for the program are then assigned to work in key crew positions on the film throughout the summer. Upon completion, these are submitted to independent film festivals and explore distribution options.
Project Bluelight was founded in 2004 by faculty members Matt Irvine and Gary Novak as a professional, educational, and community outreach program with a dual goal of creating high-quality independent films and providing an intensive, practical, film production experience for DePaul students.
