Schimmel Chosen for Southern Exposure Film Fellowship

Scott Schimmel will put his environmental science background and his filmmaking skills to use this summer in Alabama as a Southern Exposure Film Fellow.

The six-week summer fellowship provides a small group of undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to develop their own voices as environmental advocates through nonfiction storytelling. The fellows will produce films intended to raise public awareness about important issues facing Alabama’s environment.

Scott is the fourth DFP student to receive a fellowship since the program’s inception five years ago.
