ABOUT
Studio 22 Productions is a student run not-for-profit film production company based at Northwestern University that is dedicated to student productions and creativity. The group is funded through contributions from the School of Communication and generous individual contributions. Each year Studio 22 gives grants for student projects: major grants for two or three projects, a minor grant, and a number of mini-grants. Also, Multimedia grants are given out for a variety of projects. All Studio 22 productions are screened in the Technological Institute’s Ryan Family Auditorium at Northwestern University’s Evanston Campus in the first week of June.
