TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — Students at Itawamba Community College will now have the opportunity to further their knowledge of film and the industry.

A donation made by a Mississippi native will now allow ICC to expand on film studies at the college.

The equipment was donated by Atlanta-based filmmaker, Kat Philips, who says she wanted to give back to a state and school who have helped her through the years.

The equipment is worth around one hundred thousand dollars and includes an H-D camera and monitors.

“One of the things I do have buyers interested in buying films. So we need to start making the films and what Mississippi needs is trained crew, so that they can get the film studies going, we can get films going and that’s the part of the plan, is not only bring the equipment but to bring movies here as well,” said Kat Phillips.

 ICC plans to begin adding film studies courses this fall.
