VALDOSTA \u2013 Valdosta State University students are working with the South Georgia Regional Library System to create a feature film set at the new Willis L. Miller Library, which will hold its grand opening at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 28, at 2906 Julia Drive.<\/p>\n

Mass Media students shot footage of the new main branch library and are producing a series of videos to help patrons understand how to use the library\u2019s many resources. In return, the South Georgia Regional Library System gave the students access to shoot an anthology film called \u201cPatrons,\u201d a movie about people who use the library\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a wonderful opportunity for our students to work with such an important part of our community,\u201d said Jason Brown, associate professor of mass media at VSU. \u201cGiving our students the hands-on experience they need is key for our program. We are so appreciative of the South Georgia Regional Library System for helping make this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students\u2019 work will provide the community insight into the resources at the Willis L. Miller Library.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring that the community is informed about the new facility and how to take advantage of available library resources is important to us,\u201d said Jeanna Allums, head librarian of the South Georgia Regional Library System. \u201cWe appreciate the students\u2019 help in sharing this information. We love that the students were inspired to make a movie about the people we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership between the Mass Media program and the South Georgia Regional Library System highlights VSU\u2019s commitment to facilitating more experiential learning opportunities for students and enhancing the university\u2019s impact on the region it serves.<\/p>\n

Giving the students an opportunity to make a movie helped them gain valuable skills and work experience, which Brown said was important because Georgia continues to grow as a film production hub.<\/p>\n

The VSU Mass Media program looks forward to screening the movie this fall and submitting it to film festivals, such as VSU\u2019s South Georgia Film Festival in March.<\/p>\n

It is thanks in part to a substantial contribution from Willis L. \u201cWyn\u201d Miller III and his family that the new library, which was previously the Solstas Lab Partners site, will open on July 28. While materials are being transitioned from the previous library location on Woodrow Wilson Drive, the South Georgia Regional Library System is directing patrons to the Southside, Hahira, and Lake Park library locations.<\/p>\n
