Of Murray and Its Movies

So Murray State might not be a famous film school that churns out dozens of little Stephen Spielburgs every year. However, the University does have a very productive indie film club, the Murray Independent Film Association (MIFA). Eric Hovis, one of the said student filmmakers, manages a Web site devoted to the association and the wide variety of student films produced by its members. Users can browse through Murrayfilms.net, and check out trailers for projects such as "Secret Agent Jack Russell Terrier" and Hovis' own movie, "I Love Ashley Bailey." MIFA also holds film festivals every semester to let the student body view its cinematic masterpieces.
