NIU in Hollywood

Students pose with Anthony Hopkins

Follow six NIU students as they spend a portion of their summer in Hollywood or on location in the California desert, working on "Slipstream," a major motion picture written and directed by Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins, who also stars.

NIU alumnus Robert Katz and Communication Professor Laura Vazquez developed the unique opportunity for the students. Katz is a veteran Hollywood producer who is working on the Hopkins’ film. Click on the links to learn more about the course, the students and their experiences in Hollywood.
