TEMPE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 26, 2008 --
Collins College, a school of design and technology, announced today that
it is an official major sponsor of the 2008 Phoenix Film Festival—Arizona’s
largest.
The Phoenix Film Festival will be held from April 3 to April 10, 2008 at
Harkins Theater (Scottsdale Rd & Loop 101). The festival will feature
the finest in independent films from around the world, celebrities,
filmmaking seminars, and events all week long.
"The Phoenix Film Festival is very excited to have Collins College on
board as a partner this year. Collins’ film
program continues to grow and turn out quality filmmakers. Arizona's
largest film festival working with one of the state's top film programs
is a perfect match,” said Jason Carney,
festival director of the Phoenix Film Festival.
“Collins is committed to building a strong
film industry in Arizona. Partnering with the Phoenix Film Festival is a
tremendous opportunity for the college and for Arizona. The film
festival annually draws talent from all over the country and is a great
venue to showcase Arizona as a leader in the entertainment industry,”

The school of Film, Video, and Visual FX is Collins’
fastest growing school. Approximately 200 film students are enrolled. In
2007 the film school moved into 14th Street Studio, a new
professional-grade facility. 14th Street Studio
features a screening-room theater that seats 150 people, digital

professional lighting grids, and sound-proofing for filming. Collins
invested in the new facility to provide more opportunities for students
