2023 Festival
Registration is closed for the 2023 Envision Film Festival. You are welcome to join us for the workshops and screening/awards show on Friday March 10th, but the request for housing is closed.
Welcome to Taylor University’s Envision Film Festival 2023. The festival will be held with special guests joining from the entertainment industry. All events are free but require registration.
The evening of March 9th is especially for prospective students and their parents. Registration begins at 5pm with supper at 5:30 and a Taylor student showcase at 6:00. If you arrive later, join us for ice cream at 7:30pm in the Rupp building, where we can put a Steadicam camera support rig on you. You’ll meet your overnight host about 8:00pm.
On March 10th, during the day, we’ll feature guests from the entertainment industry. The day starts with an informational session and tour of Taylor’s film and media program followed by Taylor’s chapel service. Throughout the day, there will be film and television workshops hosted by our entertainment industry guests at 11, 1, 2 and 3:30. A campus tour will also be available at 4:30. On the evening of March 10th, the highlight of the festival is when we show the best work of the year by Taylor students in Rediger Auditorium at 7pm. That program will include the winning film from our high school competition and will be streamed live for family members who’d like to join virtually. The link will be added to the homepage of this website as the event date approaches.
On March 11th, there’s a repeat of the informational session and tour of Taylor’s film and media program. Afterwards, we’ll host you for brunch at 10am. Prospective students and parents are urged to attend. The whole festival wraps before 12pm.
Stay overnight and eat free
High school juniors and seniors are welcome to join us for one or two overnights on campus. We will set you up with a host who is a Film & Media Production major unless you tell us you’d like to stay with someone else or if you’d prefer stay off-campus. All meals are provided free at the Dining Commons for all visitors including parents and siblings. Families can also purchase meals in the Boren Campus Center where a food court features Chick-Fil-A among other options.
