Georgia Southern assistant professor Jason Knowles has an ambitious project planned for the 20 film students in his summer Multimedia and Film Production class. By the end of the summer, Knowles and his class aim to shoot a documentary and a feature-length action-adventure film about an old and mysterious legend from the Ozark Mountains: "The Legend of the Madré Véna," a story of buried treasure that may have some truth beneath the fiction. Over the course of the nine-week class, Knowles' students will take training courses to use their filming equipment, including two new Blackmagic cameras; undergo a rigorous safety course; and then begin the intense filming process, working 12-hour days in their Sanford Hall film studio and on location in Statesboro, North Georgia and Chattanooga.
