Film — The Location Test, the Firms' Own Pictures, the Documentary Test, the Festival, and the University at Boundary

Location productions: tested negative for Osceola, the checklist pair dug at boundary

1940–1993 · THE TEST, AND THE TWO PRODUCTIONS THAT FRAME IT

The test: no motion picture production shot in Osceola, Indiana — and none set in Osceola and shot elsewhere — appears in any list or record searched for this row: not in Film Indiana's filmed-in record, not in the state's…

The university's film institution at boundary, and the founder-across-the-line test

1990–2027 · NOTRE DAME'S FESTIVAL, AND THE TESTED REMAINDER

The institution: Notre Dame's Department of Film, Television, and Theatre (FTT) runs the county's durable film institution — the Notre Dame Student Film Festival, founded by Ted Mandell in 1990 : the department's own pages count…
