The first film, Red, Yellow & Blue, was created as part of Professor Changhee Chun's Practicum class during the spring 2007 semester, and Jack O Lantern and Honoring Home were produced as part of an independent studies course.
Three documentaries -- VISA: Travels of the Labor, People Make Mistakes, and Free Trade -- were filmed on location in Korea as part of a partnership between Ithaca College and Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, during a summer 2007 course. The course, Crosscultural Documentary Research and Production, included not only Ithaca College students, but also students from Hanyang University.
