Dr. Reshmi Hebbar’s “TV & Reading” special topics class didn’t have far to go to witness Atlanta’s burgeoning film and television industry. The director for a television pilot, filmed right on Oglethorpe’s campus in December 2015, welcomed them for a behind-the-scenes tour of the set and production. “That brief glimpse into the complex layers of production was a gift,” said Dr. Hebbar. Several students in the class interested in聽pursuing TV and film production and writing were able to make connections for future internships. In addition, several OU theatre students were actually involved in the production.
