蒙托电影计划 is the brainchild of Boon. It is a two-year practicum in micro-budget filmmaking based at the 蒙特中音 campus and brings Penn State students, 业内专业人士, and professional actors together to create a professional independent film. 该项目始于2009年. “Ghosting” is the second production to come out of the project. The first is the award-winning film, “Two Days Back.” Boon originally conceived the project “as a way to give students real-world experience and help build relationships with local communities,他说. “我认为我们已经做到了这一点.”
A number of students who participated in that project have gone on to work in film, video or television production in 宾西法尼亚 and Hollywood. 前欧博体育官网学生埃文·尼尔森, 例如, participated in both film projects and has since held positions with HBO and Conan O’Brien, and he recently finished working on this season of ABC’s “The Bachelor.”
