At the heart of our institute lies a passion for storytelling and a commitment to showcasing the diverse projects, people, and activities that define the vibrant UConn community.

With a focus on professionalism and excellence, our team of filmmakers and storytellers is dedicated to producing compelling documentary films that capture the essence of UConn's academic endeavors, research initiatives, and cultural richness. From groundbreaking scientific discoveries to impactful community outreach programs, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable stories that unfold within the University of Connecticut.

Through the lens of our cameras, we invite you to explore the dynamic tapestry of experiences that make UConn a hub of creativity, collaboration, and discovery. Whether you're a prospective student, alumni, faculty member, or simply curious about the innovative work happening at UConn, our documentary films offer an engaging glimpse into the diverse facets of university life.

“Innovation in Connecticut”

"Innovation in Connecticut" is a feature documentary project delving into the rich tapestry of Connecticut's history of innovation, showcasing both established pioneers in various fields as well as emerging young innovators. The forthcoming documentary will intricately weave together narratives of successful innovators, highlighting their contributions and the impact of their work on the local and global stage.

Following the release of the feature documentary, a series will further delve into the multifaceted landscape of innovation in Connecticut, offering viewers an in-depth look at the ongoing evolution of groundbreaking ideas and initiatives within the state.

This project is initiated by UConn President Dr. Radenka Maric, led by Dr. David Noble, and directed by Dr. Zeljko Mirkovic.
