I am a Senior, studying for a BS in Computer Science. I’ve produced a number of projects and I’m always helping out with pretty much every other project, so let me know if you ever want help or need advice!
Favorite StudioU memory:
Every day is amazing!
Vice President
Genevieve Gray
I am a Junior, studying Data Science. I’ve been on the crew for so many of our awesome projects, I love to work on as many things as I can! I’m especially keen on editing and hands on work on set, but I’ll do whatever the project needs! I’m excited to work on new projects and get to know new members this semester :)
Favorite StudioU memory:
When actors add-lib jokes and everyone can’t stop laughing.
Leadership Team
Erica Toepke
I am a 3rd year student majoring in Biology. I helped a bit with The Funny Pages last semester. I'm interested in working on some sort of short film. I’m the Treasurer and I help the club with marketing and social media.
Favorite StudioU memory:
My favorite StudioU memory is working on The Funny Pages because it was the first project I got to work on. It was really fun meeting new people and learning how to use equipment.
Reagan Frystak
I am a 2nd year, majoring in Graphic Design. I help make sure that meetings, workshops, social nights, and any other events are scheduled! In Fall of 2023 I was on crew for the film Mars And All Other Gods, and in Spring of 2024 I co-produced the short film Forlorn! One semester I hope to pitch an animation project to offer a new opportunity for film production. Talk to me about Sonic or South Park and good things will come your way
Favorite StudioU memory:
Any first shoot for a film! There's always a lot of high energy.
Gabriel Davlin
I am a Junior, studying Physics, Math. I’ve done Acting, Writing, and worked with Audio Technology, and I am interested in directing and production. There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, those who don’t. The other eight types of people were omitted for brevity.

Acting in The funny pages and working behind the scenes on the project.
Lauren Clement
Hi, I’m a senior studying Fisheries and Wildlife, Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, and Creative Writing. I currently hold the position of Director of Operations at StudioU! Thus far, I’ve written/directed a short film and directed a tv series through our club. It’s incredible to be a part of StudioU and have the opportunity to see creative visions materialized. I have been a member since freshman year- four years running! I can’t wait to meet you and hear your perspectives and ideas, what StudioU is all about!
Favorite StudioU memory:
The day the short film I wrote was green lit and my story became a reality, everyone on the project working together for a common goal.
Dilan Parekh
I am the Director of Inventory! I’m a second year majoring in Journalism. I manage our equipment as well as the checkout system to help groups get what they need for shoots. I also am here to answer any questions about what you may need or not need for shoots. I have mainly worked as a camera operator for shoots, in the future I would like to be the editor for more projects
Favorite StudioU memory:
Making Be More! My first project with StudioU and it has inspired me to want to make more music videos in the future.
