The annual FMI Awards––popularly known as “The FMIs”––are Stevenson’s answer to the Oscars! The 2023 show will take place live in the Rockland Ballroom on our Owings Mills campus on Sunday, April 16, at 7pm. Reserve your seat here.
Please come and celebrate as we screen the films made by Stevenson students over the past academic year, with prizes given for best acting, directing, screenwriting, cinematography, editing, documentary and … best picture. The entire glorious affair is organized and managed by Stevenson’s FMI Club and is presented as part of Stevenson University’s ArtsAlive! program. Check out last year’s movies on our Vimeo site.
