Hollywood Badgers: UW students get leg up in film industry

Colleen Kerns doesn’t expect to become the next Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie. But she just might work with them someday as a film producer.

University of Wisconsin-Madison students like Kerns – eager to work as producers, directors, writers or studio executives – now have a place on campus to help them work toward their common goals.

….Kerns is a student organizer of the UW-Hollywood Badgers, a group of about 20 students hoping to work in the entertainment industry. The student committee acts as a link between the original Hollywood Badgers, a group UW-Madison alumni already working in Los Angeles, and students on campus wanting to learn more about careers in Hollywood.
