Four University of Notre Dame alumni working in the film industry will return to campus to screen and discuss their work at the annual iNDustry Alliance Alumni Documentary Film Festival, to be held Oct. 1 to 3 (Thursday to Saturday) in the Browning Cinema of Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
Featured presenters are John Mikulak, a 1990 graduate and the director of “The Man Who Would Be Polka King;” Greg Kohs, a 1988 graduate and the director of “Song Sung Blue;” Jake Rademacher, a 1997 graduate and the director of “Brothers at War;” and Scott Mitsui, a 1992 graduate and the producer and cinematographer of “Jam.” The filmmakers will participate in question and answer sessions after each screening and Mitsui will present a talk on Oct. 2 titled “Making the Perfect Trailer: A Behind the Scenes Look at Movie Marketing.”
