From College of Fine Arts and Communications

In May 2005, Melissa Brady directed a short film titled The Roman Road. Funding for the film was made possible through the Mary Lou Fulton Chair.

In a note expressing her gratitude for the Fulton’s generosity, Brady said,

Mr. and Mrs. Ira and Mary Lou Fulton,

Thank you for your support in funding the short film adaptation The Roman Road. Your funds allowed for the piece to be shot, processed, and transferred on film. The use of film was crucial to the overall look and feel of the piece.

We are currently working on post-production. Once completed, the piece will be combined with other Children's Media Initiative (CMI) projects and placed in a package to air on KBYU. We are looking into several festival options. Thank you for facilitating opportunities in allowing this piece to portray its content in the most valuable way.

Sincerely,

Melissa Brady

Brady received her BA in Media Arts Studies in December 2005.

In 2006, Brady teamed with fellow alumni Ryan D. Cannon, Jedediah H. Cowley, and Paul R. Tuft to create a commercial campaign for the “Spot On” Utah Film Commission Contest. Their spots, titled “Letterboxers,” took the grand prize. Their other entry, “Now There’s Utah,” received an honorable mention.
