Five Northeast Texas Community College honors freshman recently presented the trailer of their new film on Mary Kay at the annual fall meeting of the Walter Prescott Webb Historical Society. The Webb Society is the collegiate auxiliary of the Texas State Historical Association.
Warren Wu, Rhylie Anderson, Jordan Whelchel, Karsen Nelson, and Matthew Chambers (pictured from left) have all taken major roles in the production of the film, due for a premiere this February. The students took turns presenting key aspects of the film?s development.
Wu, the producer, presented the trailer that he made without a cinematic template. Anderson detailed the experience of learning about cinematography and acting, Whelchel spoke on the formation of the student executive film committee, Nelson, on subcommitees, and Chambers on the research, which he helped develop in Denton last summer.† Anderson, Whelchel, Nelson, and Chambers were part of the larger group of thirteen, under the direction of Brenda Godoy,that filmed all sixty-one scenes of the film last summer in Fort Worth.
Wu?s new trailer on the cosmetics CEO, Mary Kay, will be available on the Honors Northeast website,†www.ntcc.edu/honors†by November 6.† The trailer and the film depict a Texas success story who rose from the despair of a crippling diagnosis, divorce, and destitution to head a corporation that registered three billion dollars in sales by 2001.
