As a part of his individualized major capstone project, IU alumnus Kevin Domer released the largest independent IU student film “Virtuoso,” according to an email from Domer.
“While the film’s been done for a few years, various factors have stalled sharing it publicly,” Domer said in the email.
The film has had a long history at IU’s campus, first written and pre-produced in 2008 and shot in 2010 and 2011. After Domer graduated, he attempted to submit the film to several festivals and screenings, which postponed its public release date.
According to the email, the film is a coming-of-age, comedic drama that tells the story of a piano student in college. As the character goes through his college experience, he is confronted by a past tragedy that makes him question his former dreams.
The film is set on locations around campus and features several IU landmarks, including the Sample Gates, which are featured on the film’s poster.
“None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of the IU community,” Domer said in the email. “We hope ‘Virtuoso’ will inspire more students to stay true to their calling and better lead their own lives.”
